These things are screwing with my zoa's! Pics.

So, should I FW dip or just let those 2 polyps go and hope they don't eat anymore.

I ripped this pic off another post from doing my search, are there 2 different things here?


I had a bunch of those on the far left but thought they were flatworms? Was I wrong in my diagnosis and could have had these isopods all along?

 

Those flatworms are harmless. Yellowtail damsels will eat them up in a heartbeat. Thats why I keep yellowtails around. Ya never know what you'll get in on a frag from a stranger. My banghai ate all of the isopods I had. I never saw it eat for 8 months then one night something caught my attention when the lights were out and it was the banghai hunting on the frag racks.

 

my sixline will probably eat them. he is like mikey, he eats anything that hits the water and is alway picking around the rocks, just have to watch closely. He wouldn't eat those flatworms tho, so who knows. Thanks for your help geek.

 

Dang those things are on my other Zoas now! I guess its dipping time. Wish me luck guys, dont know how this is gonna but I can't just watch these little things screw with my stuff!

 

Where did you get the zoas at?

 

From a local guy, not a store, Asked him and he said to try a dip and to let him know if they don't make it. I deployed a yellow tail damsel today just because I still have a few of those flatworms hanging about. and my cleaner shrimp seems to be going from colony to colony and picking at the zoas, they close up then open right back, Do you think he eats these pods?

 

Possibly, ya never know unless you ask him.... but if he answers back, you might have other more serious problems, hahaha

 

Is there such thing as a non-reef safe skunk cleaner shrimp. He has been all over my duncan's today to the point that they almost haven't opened at all.

 

Any updates with theese< have you gotten rid of them?? and what worked if so or is helping cause i have the Same Problem!!!!!!!!! frickin little things crawl on my zoas but thy open up later and i watched on of the bigger ones i have all they seem to do is pic up sand and clean it?? i think them walking on the zoas mght just shock em a little but i am not sure if there biting them??
