I was half-expecting a "let me google that for you" link lol

 

[Mandrake]

Thanks , I found one on my glass , no wonder my zoas dont grow much.

if you find one potential for others is there. Start inspecting your frags and colonies. The link I showed you shows how the egg masses look like

Nudis also change color according to the zoa they eat! Eagle eyes they're orange, dragon eyes green. I'll look for an old picture. I usually do fresh water dips.

 

[Mandrake]

that was my next dumb question , what to do ? what type of dip works ?

 

[Joshporksandwic]

That's the nudi and the eggs. The eggs i took them out with a very small paint brush.

these things are a nightmare! I am on my second week of fighting these demons! every night I search with a magnifiying glass and flash light.I am getting a yellow coris wrasse today and after a short three day quarantine I hope he will help me rid these things from my tank.I dont wish these things on my worst enemies.

I usually do fresh water dips.

How long do you leave them in the freshwater? Both z and p?

Make sure FW is same pH, temp as your tank. Also you can add FWE in the dip container to knock off and kill any hiding Nudi's.

a sixline wrasse, if no other wrasses are in the tank, a yellow coris or green coris, or a halacoris ? are always benificial to have in the tank as these are preditors for them. i always do a fw dip wit ha drop of iodine on any new zoa's, doesnt get the eggs but is a start
