new to the reef and need help...

[casio200]

hey all,

I'm new to the reef community and needed a little advice. I started a nano reef tank (10 gallons just to get my feet wet) and it has cycle of a month. my lfs told me zoanthids are the way to go the only thing is when I got it home, place it in my tank, there were mites and slug looking things crawling all over it. Are these going to destroy my soon to be reef or is everything going to be ok

any other advice would be helpful as well.

thanks

Any of these guys you see in your tank, chuck them, rather be safe than sorry if your a Z's and P's collector.

One looks to be a Green Nudi and the other a Zoanthid Nudibranch. Is there a treatment to get raid of them?

I've dipped and swished mine under fresh water with same temp as the tank and killed these guys right away. Watch out for eggs that they lay, white color and in clumps. They hatch in a week or two (forgot timeline). Then repeat.
