What are these things? I just got these Zoas and when I finished the drip acclimation, I took them out of the Tupperware and put them in the tank, when I took them out I saw these things left over, one of them looks almost like a really small nudi or something, The other looks like a centipede or something, and the other is almost like a little plankton or something? They're all really small and can't get a good pic of them except for the centipede thing, any info on them is very much appreciated. First post on here by the way.:bump:

Welcome to R2R! They could be zoa eating nudis.
 
This one is most likely a bristle worm, harmless to have.

Zoa eating nudi and bristleworm.

I recently battle the nudis and you mainly need to keep an eye on your Zoas for a bit.

Best way to spot them. Is at night. Use a flashlight and its really easy to see them since they take on the same color as the Zoas they are eating. All the heads should be closed so you are just looking for the color.

I use revive, put them in it and swish it around a lot upside down and/or hit it with the baster. The goal is to dislodge them. Biggest haul I've had so far was 7 of them at once.
 
Flatworm exit at 1 drop per gallon will take care of the nudibranch
 
Keep an eye on them and expect to need it again in a week or so. It took me a few weeks to get them all.
