Zooanthid showing white spots and lesions

I just bought a small zooanthid colony that I got a really great deal on for 15 dollars. However, This is one of my first corals and it appears to be developing white spots and it is splitting with white stuff coming out of the insides. Although most of the colony seems happy and colorful the outer edges are slowly withering awya. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

a picture would help

 

Sorry guys, here are the pics:

 

I can't really tell from the pictures. Does it look like described here? ZoaPox maybe?

CoralPedia.com! :: The definitive repository for named Corals!

 

Yea it looks exactly like zoapox although Zoapox does not show the lesions and cuts my coral seems to also be suffering from.

 

Any suggestions on treatments?

 

Vitamin C......here's a link on dosing:

Vitamin C

I swear this stuff is a miracle drug for Zoa's. here are some before and after pics of my experience with dosing vitamin C:

This is when I first bought my zoas:



This is when they were sick:



This is after one week of Vitamin C treatment:



Now I know there are some photography differences in the Pics, But Im telling you right now that this stuff Works. I know that my problem was different than yours is now, but I have heard from several people that it will also work for Zoa Pox. HTH! : )

 

those zoos that are sick actually look kind of sweet cement_skis! but glad they recovered and look very happy now.

 

Heres a Pic I just took right now:

 

Thanks, but Im so sick of them, probably because they are my only Zoas. They grew so fast in my tank, that I actually had to start injecting them with vinegar to kill them back!
