lice on zoanthids

[someoldman]

this is a new tank (about 4 months) and the first tank i have had in about a decade, so i don't know if i can get decent pictures, i will try later. for now here is my best description of the problem..

I got my first ever zoanthids a few days ago, looked fine at LFS, now some of the polyps in the middle won't open, and they have what looks like lice all over them. I have read the thread about zoo pox and it kinda looks like that in size and all, but there are LOTS of these bugs, and they move all over, they are obviously "bugs" rather tan something immobile

before i just start trying stuff i thought i would ask...any advice would be appreciated, this seemed like the best place to seek help, seems to be lots of good info

I think this may get the picture up, it is my first tank picture and isn't that good, but it is the best i can do for now.

Does your camera have a macro setting? If so use that and submit a close up view.

Google copeopod or amphipod.
