Pods eating the skirts of my zoas

[azdiver]

What can I do to get them off my zoas

I've had these before sux. Can you move them to a different location in the tank?

 

[azdiver]

I tried but they still come after them the clownfish started helping by eating them recently but I have a lot of them

you can use a frag rack and bring the affected frags up. Most pods wouldn't want to venture to out our away from the main rocks and sand for fear of being eaten. Wrasses will help out.

aren't pods good to have in your tank? that's what ive been told and what ive read. or are they just bad for zoas...

 

[650-IS350]

copepods are good imo. Ampipods are the ones that are known to go at Z's and P's

Maybe that explains one of my colonies slowly dying Off. At night it would he covered in Amphipods. I took them out to treat them for zoa pox and saw a few Amphipods on the dip. All zoas look great now and I have seen many pods.
