Its some type of fungus that usually means the zoos are done. Best course of action is to frag off the remaining zoos that are not covered in cotton.

If you take the zoos out and take a sniff, it will smell horrible.

Good luck.

You can do a fresh water dip, or a dip in Coral Rx. That should get them back to health. Id go with Coral Rx, the fresh water dip really stressed them out for a few days. Ive done both with success but the coral Rx was a bit easier on the polyps.

Just chiming in, I noticed my nuclear yellow palys close for the past few days, the tip of the palys have a black coating, should I dip them in some revive?

Def revive or coral rx dip..LOTS of flow.

It worked, my palyps started open up.

If you really want to bring zoo's back to life a short (1-2 minute dip in 1 part peroxide/4 parts water) does wonders. They close up for a short time but when they open back up they look better than ever....
