#@!%$ spiders

[kypatriot]

I have some spiders that came on a zoo frag a few months ago - I've been pulling them off manually when I can spot them.

I just got a green coris wrasse, which is in my QT right now, along with some zoo frags. Will the wrasse likely eat the spiders? Is there a more reliable way to get rid of them?

Just keep picking them off- eventually, they will disappear.
I use a magnifying glass, flashlight, & a pair of tweezers to do the job...

Wow, I feel your pain. I fought these little buggers (successfully) several months ago. I have not had them (fingers crossed for about 6 months or so now). I received them as a "gift" with a frag I bought.
That having been said, there are several older threads on RC that I posted in (and several other people as well) that discussed in detail how to get rid of them. Also, check out wetwebmedia.com. Just type in zoanthid spiders in the search function and you can find out info on treating them from Bob Fenner. I posted on there once about them and he personally answered me.
If this doesn't help, or you can't find the links, pm me and I will try and find the info for you as well.
Good luck!
