Question about my Zoa's

[SFWBreefguy]

I have bought a few Zoa's (Mixed type) on frags and they all were doing great except one started to wilt off and close all the time. I took a closer look and noticed that it has little "bugs" crawling all over it. i was wondering are these lil guys trying to clean my zoa or are they harming it. If it is the worse case what can I do to stop them!

Thanks,

could be zoo eating numbriants do a fresh water dip and then a dip of flat worm exit

What color are the 'bugs' crawling on the zoas, and were the lights out when you noticed this?

 

[anthony27]

they also could just be pods. If they are clear then they are pods

Now don't laugh too hard when you read this but do you really mean dip the zoa's in fresh water? Also, where can I get the flat worm exit? Thanks

Kathy,

The lights were one when I noticed this and they were light grey in color. Thanks

what color are the zoas they are on...zoa eating nudis will change their color to match the zoa they are eating

If you do a fresh water dip(exactly as it sounds) you will need to get the temp the same and the PH the same as your saltwater

Zoa eating Nudibranches are bad. I can tell you they don't like garlic and wrasses.

Yes a fresh water dip is good I read that iodine can kill them ( i head and read that) do not hold me to that. But also any local lfs or vendor on this site has flat worm exit.
