Definitely a Zoanthid eating Nudi. If it was found near a Zoanthid colony, you may want to pull that colony out, dip it and inspect it very closely for egg clusters. Will probably want to use a magnifying glass. I would start with the colony to the far left, that is all closed up.

thanks. I just pulled it and pulled 5 out. I looked close with a magnifying glass and did not see any eggs or anymore. I did pull my other zoos and did not find any. thanks for the info and I will have to keep an eye out.

Sounds like those things are like mice, if you see one you have 10 you didn’t see.

Pulled my other zoos with no sign. I have dipped in coral dip and found no more. The original colony I double dipped. They r pissed. So I will be watching that colony now. Hopfully I got it in time.

Those are NUDI's are just as bad as Aptasia. Seriously. I happily introduced them into my tank with the meal they came in on. (colony of zoo's) I was so happy when they finished off the colony they were on and moved to the next colony of high priced unwanted zoo's. I did everything wrong. I should have quarantined them. An expensive lesson. I picked for months, tried fresh water dips with no luck, I pulled eggs off and no luck. Those guys are good and engineered to kill. You get rid of one and 5 more will sprout up. I learned the hard way of the importance of a quarantine tank.

hitch hiker suck man. I am only dealing with a aptasia once and awhile.

after checking several times last night and this morning I am more convinced that I did get them all. In all I did find 8-9 on the original colony along with 2 eggs. I did coral dip them (severly and pretty much over dosed during dip) and used a flashlight and mag glass to thoughly go thru the piece. I definalty will be continusly checking. I will also be dipping any new pieces and highly inspecting them before introducing them to the tank. Thanks for all the info and help guys. Its greatly appreciated.
