Fendbenazole (not sure if I spelled it correctly as spell correct trying to change it
Are you sure you have pix?
Any pic under white lighting?
Chemiclean is another option with good results. I soak my zoas , frags or rocks about 20 min in chemiclean / tank water solution (once a day) I do about 3-4 treatments
Fenbendazole Won’t do anything for you. It’s best used when treating for Blue clove polyps and it’s also not currently available (at least the Thomas Labs specifically for aquariums).
Chemi-clean is one option but it’s efficacy for treating zoa pox hasn’t been confirmed. You can, however, use it as a dip or in aquarium treatment for some issues.
The base ingredient for furan 2 is nitrofurazone which can be ordered and used on its own. It’s just ‘sticky’ and can be a pain to rinse off frags.
You might also want to consider trying metroplex. While largely for protozoans it will knock certain bacterial issues. I haven’t been able to try it on pox though.
Whichever way you go remember you need to go 4-5 days dipping, a rest day or two, and then at least 1 additional cycle. Persistence pays off but you got to fully commit. Also, triaging and discarding heavily infected polyps is a good idea.

Fenbendazole is a dewormer. That will not work. I believe I used tetra fungus guard years back. It’s the same as furan 2 (nitrofurazone) but has a second ingredient
Potassium dichromate.
