just pulled out my second zoa eating nudi


well finally found the reason none of my zoas ever do well in my tank. found one a couple days ago, and got it out with a turkey baster. so ive been watching the zoas closely and just pulled out another one. im sure theres more, what should i do? i dont think a fw dip would work because they are just small frags and im thinking the nudis would be elsewhere in the tank. theyre opening up fully now though, nice to see!

If you can remove the zoas and or the rock(s) the zoas are on, without having to disassemble the tank you should abolutely do a freshwater dip on them.......now and every few days to a week or so until you dont see the nudis anymore. I would do it in the middle of the night or first thing in the morning before the lights come on.

I say this especially since you say you always have had probs with zoas.

I had a colony of zoas wither away over the course of a few days (they closed and started shrinking until they disappeared). Other colonies are doing well so far. I can't figure out why it happened.
