[ifreefingwasaperson]

zoas went through an initial dip with coral md and placed in qt. maybe 3 days later i went to inspect with the scope and decided to re dip and a few fast unknowns came off. my question is do zoa pest free swim?or stay attached? since i found a few things at the second dip is the qt tank containminated? should it be cleaned out? should they have been put back in the same tank?

Any pics would be helpful from scope images
Zoa pox and spiders would not be however small flea like organisms known as ostracods are a possibility

Pests tend to stay near the food source, but is it possible for them to release and be somewhere else in the tank. That being said if you take away the food specs, I believe most pests won’t make it last a month.

Unfortunately i just have a 10x-30x magnifying glass. No pics. Any suggestions on one that can take pics? The magnifying glass still has me squinting. Any suggestions on a better magnifying glass/scope
