Hmmmm
I wouldn't freak out necesarily just yet. Zoas adhere to things like sand and other materials will adhere to them. Your "zoa pox" may be nothing at all. I've had pimples on my zoas many times and nothing at all happened.
I've also noticed that certain strains of zoas are affected by different things. For example one strain I had closed up one day and started to melt away! I had five separate colonies of this one particular zoa in my tank and they all closed up and started to melt at the same time! All of my other zoa strains, including ones right next to them were never effected. Of that one strain that mysteriously died I have four polyps starting to make a comeback. It's really odd I have no idea what was in my water that they didn't like. Whatever it was all of my other zoas didn't seem to mind it.
Anyhow I wouldn't necesarily go nuts just yet. Zoas are very tough, very toxic criters that can take quite a beating. I had some zoas survive in a bucket without water for 1 week! Just watch them closely look for signs of distress, try blowing some water on them to see if maybe something is irritating them.

May not be a disease at all.

It could be a reaction to something in the water, nutrients, chemicals from another coral, supplement overdose, reaction to light, on and on.
It's like when you find a hitchhiker on your rocks, could be good, could be bad, could be nothing. Just keep a close eye on them.
If you think it's STDs try not to let any drunk friends near your tank unattended........
