Critter on my zoa's

[Darin]

Found this guy crawling on my zoa's. Anyone know what this is?

That is a nudibranch.

Reef safe?

If it was found on your zoa's, it's a high possibility its a zoa eatting nudibranch.

I would remove it and dip/inspect all your zoa/palys.

zoa eating nudibranch are the zoas already in your DT? are you able to pull and dip them?
youll want to dip and inspect the zoas for eggs.
dip will not do anything to the eggs and they are not easy to remove.

I've only seen a few others in my tank but on my glass front in the morning when the lights come on. There isn't any damage to my zoa's

I'd remove the ones you find.

Ime. Once the adults leave the colony it means the eggs have hatched.
Pull a frag or look close. Really close You'll see a ring of a baby vampires on the stalks.

keep a close and watchful eye. They take on the color and look of the Zoas they are eating, so they are not easy to spot.
its a shame though, they can be gorgeous looking(of course after eating plenty of your favorite colored zaos )
