Are you checking your zoos?!

[melev]

You are quite welcome. I hope this thread helps others check their livestock closely.

how big are sundial snails??
And how could you guys spot these little sucka? i have a big tank with zoo on a large piece of LR. Any suggestion? thanks

Click on the link I provided above and you can see plenty of pictures to get a sense of size. Matter of fact, re-read this thread as that will answer the other question you had.

I know what that is but I cannot remember its name. I have been looking through my database of articles and mags and cant find the document. I want to say asian star but something tells me thats incorrect. However I remember the article stating that the organism which highly resembles the one in your picture can unleash havac on your softies. They mutiply quickly and you should probably keep checking for more at night. If i come across the article I will pm you.

Be careful Marc and keep a close eye for a few months. They lay babies inside the zoanthid polyp.

Along Came a Spider

Man, those things are freaking me out! :eek2: I've always gotten the geebees from arachnids, now I find some saltwater animal that does the same! eeeww!!

 

[PelagicMagic]

I was wrong , must of been thinking of something else. It looks like tippy made the proper ID. I would not buy any coral from the LFS you last bought from at least for a while incase they are the cause of you new found tank inhabitant

 

[melev]

Odds are they came in with those zoanthids.

I found this nudi on my polyps tonight...after taking a pic of it 2 days ago on the back wall of my 12g Nano. It has been removed from my tank.
Thanks for the thread.

 

[melev]

Good job. Keep your corals alive, and not your evil hitchhikers.

 

[chessmanmark]

How about giving new zoos a fresh water dip before placing them in your tank? (same temp and ph of course)

 

[melev]

It can't hurt and you might see something that doesn't belong.

First off I'm a mazed at the close up shots you are able to get of these critters. Also thanks for the resource, i've used your site on more than one occassion to id any new findings in my tanks.

 

[melev]

It is a good camera, as I can shoot within 1cm of the object. Thanks.

 

[NorthernCF]

Did you get any good shots of it sucking on your eye ball yet?

 

[melev]

So far, its been a no-show.

 

[melev]

I found two more tonight.

 

[Apparition]

Looks like you got a new friend! Do you carry him everywhere or just on photo shoots?

 

[sloshes]

I noticed a snail on one of my zoo colonies a few months back and pulled it off just because it seemed to be pulling a polyp right off. Your pictures confirmed my suspicion. Thanks for the info, I'm getting my flashlight out right now.

BTW, I would NEVER let that spider touch me.
