Zoa's disappearing! Preators

[jecarl2]

I have a rock that had close to 100 green zoas on it, now there is about 25% remaining. I also have some red zoas that have gone untouched. What are some common predators? My zoas practically got wiped out in a 2 week period. I have a flame angel, clown, and large damsel.

I also have a large hermit and the usual cleaning crew.

The flame angel has been my newest addition, fish wise.

By the way I have a few stray gorilla crabs that I have not caught yet.

Wait till your tank light go off and look at them with a flash light. A lot of people (including myself) have been having problems with pods eating away at the zoas.

I had a gorilla crab develop a taste for zoas.

Well I haven't been around here for a while because I lost 75% or so of my zoo's before I could catch a crab that hitch hiked in. I waited until the lights were off one night, and saw where he was hiding. I pulled the rock out, and basically cut away at the rock until I got the crab out. I don't think I've lost a zoo since. I've got to tell you though....it's hard to get back into the zoo's after loosing somewhere around 30 or so different morphs....It still hurts to look at the old pictures of the sweet pieces I had.

Get the gorillas out ASAP, I bet anything there the problem.

Wow that sucks. It was a gorilla crab that ate them?I would seriously cry if I lost 75% of my zoa's.
