haha. I have 3 colonies of zoas. i love them and they definitely love their tank. i have a 3 polyp (yeah i know very small) colony of spiderman zoanthids, and two larger colonies of radioactive dragon eye zoas. I recently had to deal with a pest infestation. I'm not sure what they were and want to id them. they looked a lot like copepods but were chewing away at my poor zoanthids! they were clear and weren't even a millimeter in length. any info?

Hi

Possible some type of nudibranch that attacks zoa. Only thing I could think of. Any way to get a pic?

i could tell it was not a nudibranch it was too small and had looked almost like a shrimp but it was the size of a copepod. i can't get pictures because i already got rid of them but ill insert a picture of the copepod they look like. also from the eggs i found the pattern was unlike that of a nudibranch or zoo eating spider because they were just there actually covering a small section of my green star coral and they were so stubborn and so much there we had to cut that piece off to save the rest of the colony.
