Wierd bugs on my zoos

[ganjero]

my zoanthids are being attacked by wierd looking bugs, they are like a tiny anemone or bug. They are bothering my zoos becuase they dont want to open. I could post a picture but they are so tiny that it would be imposible to see them. Does any one has any idea what are these things?

Thanks

Are they bad? how do I get rid of them?

I don't have the macrophotography skills either to take super close up shots, but if you could draw them or find another picture on the net that looks like them...
Have you looked at the zoa predator link at zoaid.com?

I found a picture, and yes they are the zoas eating nudi. Now is there a fish that will eat them because they way my tank is set I cant do the water dip.

Oh that is not good!
As much as its gonna hurt to tear your tank apart, you may have no choice, otherwise you may lose all of your zoas to these buggers!
There are people that claim that there are fish that will eat these guys, but I spoke to Doctor Ron about nudi eating fish. He said no. Due to the toxins in these nudi's they would be toxic to the fish that eat them.
