Ok, so I noticed yesterday little white dots on my Brown Button Polyps, and one of them had a brown goop hovering above it, while two or three more were white and looked 'decayed' or something. I don't know how I did not notice this sooner, but somehow or other I completely missed it.
There are little white dots all over them, but what is strange is that they are on the same rock as my yellow polyps, which seem to be perfectly fine. I have looked the rock over and I don't see any 'zoa-eating-snails' or any other culprit. There is however a bristleworm living in the rock, could it have 'stung' the polyps and damaged them, although this doesn't really explain the white dots all other them?
Also I have checked my other zoa's which are on a mag rack away from the Polyps, but they also seem to be in good shape.
Here are the Button Polyps, as you can see they have white dots all over them, but I don't see any on the Yellow Polyps DIRECTLY beside them.
And here is the one (in the center) which has brown goop hovering above it:
As you can see, the Yellow Polyps looks just fine. Here are some pics of my other Zoas, and these too look just fine.
And here some pics of the button polyps a week or so ago, they looked pretty good then, but I do notice (now) that there are some white dots on the base even then, I just don't see any spots on the top of the polyps:
I welcome all advice and help as I am desperate to salvage what polyps I have left and make sure whatever this is doesn't affect the other polyps/zoas in the tank or other corals even.
Thanks.
