Hi - I'm new to the Forum and relatively new to the Hobby. I have an established 24G nano Tank, Have a little bit of everything in it as far as corals. I've had some problems with my Zoanthid opening up. Seems Like I've had it for a month now and they stay closed most of the times.

After looking close I've noticed some type of pest on it.. I believe it is some sort of nudibranch. I'm not sure - but I'm removing them one by one. It seems as though I'm removing 2 or 3 per day and I was wondering if there was something that eats these things or if there was something I could do to get rid of these.

Here are some links to pictures. The attatched links arent my photos - but is exactly what it looks like.




Another link that sorta looks like these as well.

There's lots of information on these pests in the Zoanthids Forum (http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=184). You'll probably get a better response by posting there.
