Hi Folks,

I bought a zoa colony a few weeks back from my LFS and I thought they were only Zoas.

Since I've learned there are a few palys mixed in there too. Theyre really ugly - See pic - circled fella.

Any ideas what they might be?

Are they meant to be that ugly?

If so, how can I get rid of them?

Many thanks.
Conor

Arctic ice, Emerald Eyes, Devils Teeth or Golden Silk Palythoas.

Thanks.. Under white light they're a horrible mottled off white colour. They dont look well but that's what they looked like when I bought the colony.

Any ideas on getting rid of them?

Cover them with Aptasia F.

Super glue would probably work too. However be very, very, VERY careful when handling them. Zoas and palys are both very toxic and the toxins can seep through your skin. When angry they slime and can affect other creatures in your tank. Palys more so than Zoas, at least in my experience.

How would you use the super glue to get rid of them?

Put the glue over them to suffocate them and hopefully prevent them from sliming.
