bad if you have zoas

[speargunhunter]

yeah man they were on zoas.
how can i treat the whole tank?

[dodgerblew]

they are a zoa eating nudi. Thats what they eat. I always dip my zoas before I put them in my tank wit Tropic Marin Pro Coral Care for 15 min and it'll kill any nudis or flatworms etc so you won't introduce them into your tank. I'd get some and dip your zoas

[speargunhunter]

yeah, thats what i'm doing now.. but they're on the tank already , so i wanna get rid of them asap... i have flatworn exit now, do u think that would help?

[euphoricgear]

Yes use flat worm exit it will kill them then about 3 week dose again cuz the eggs should hatch by then.

[dodgerblew]

I don't know if that'll work. Make sure after you soak it, you take a turkey baster and blow water over the zoas and every inch of the rock in the container. If they're dead they'll blow out from the water pressure and you'll see if they're dead. I'd then use a magnifying glass to examine the rock on all sides for more. Good luck

thanks for the input guys, i'll try flatworm exit then.

[euphoricgear]

It will work. They have an article
in reef hobbyist magazine

do a 3 min fresh water (ro water at same temp as your tank) dip. we do this after we get any new zoas. The nudies will fall right off then inspect the zoas for eggs. Look for a spiral like line on the side of you zoa stock. you shoud find some. In the pic there adult size and if you dont get this treated you will lose you zoas fast. good luck

[speargunhunter]

thanks for helping me., i've been hunting nudis and in about 30 min i got 6 and the bad thing is that they change to the color of the zoas they are eating so is more difficult to get them.

Euphoricgear---i'll look for the article now

shapermike--- sure i'll do a fresh water dip too, thanks for the info.

hey jorge, i would dip for sure, when i found those suckers in my friends tank, we dipped the whole rock we found it on in iodine and blasted each and every hole u can see in the rock. they're in there. u gotta make sure u blast out every sucker. as for the eggs though... i don't know what to do with that. good luck to you and liseth with it... hope it doesn't tear apart all those nice zoos she has!

[speargunhunter]

thanks Ksan.... we will dip the whole rock tomorrow :)
