Quick question for all of you zoo lovers...
I have several large colonies of zoanthids in my care and quite a few peppermint shrimp - at least 10. A few weeks ago I seperated them and housed them in seperate tanks while a new tank was setup. The peppermint shrimp have been back in the new tank for awhile, but the zoo's just got added back last night. For some reason after adding some of the zoo's a few shrimps started going crazy with one of the colonies...they started 'picking' in between the polyps, and appeared to be eating something. Again, they looked like they were picking in BETWEEN the zoanthids. Are they? Or are they eating my zoo's? Should I be worried? What can I do? Do you have any ideas?
I'll post a pic later but I am also wondering what to do about a zoanthid colony that isnt opening completely. They were just added back to the tank and adjusting...BUT...they seem to be getting overrun by a big pink sponge. ?? How do I kill the sponge?
