Anybody know what the heck this is?

[Kissfan79]

Can anybody tell me what the "parasitic" looking white thing is crawling down the glass on the inside of my tank is? As always...I apologize for the photo quality. I noticed this after I got my first Zoa frag the other day. If it is the same thing I saw the other day..it seemed to be crawling on the zoa. A hitchiker? I would really like to know what it is.

Thanks, Jim

This is a good video of what you probably have.

It's a zoa eating nudi.

Kill it quick and dip your colony in buffered RO water to get the others.

Look on the zoas and check for egg sacks

Wow...that looks just like that thing crawling around. When you say soak my zoa in straight R/O water or R/O water that has salt added to it and for how long?

Thanks guys!

I got the bugga! I looked over the zoa (didn't actually take it out of the tank) and there was a small round white thing on the side of one of the polyps. I sucked it off with my turkey baster. There looks like there may be another one of those round things on the side. I will try and look at it some more tomorrow.
