ID help is this what I think it is?

I think we should wait for a better photo also. (I trusted that others would chime in and I hope they are right that this is just pods!)
We need reliable validation before we get worried, if we can help it...

This is the best I can zoom in on it. This is the zoa they came off.

@ReefSquad
We need someone familiar with zoa pests, suspected pods? or Nudis? Or?

Someone give @Mike33515 some help as he found something on the zoa's above and is wondering what's up with this colony. Looks like a picture of a suspect next to the airstone?

I'm out of guesses and zoa's pests are a mystery to me. Thanks Reefers!

Still doesn't look like a nudi.

Its a pod I have a few in my tank and thhey all get smoked by the ywg or the nd

I’m 99.9% sure it’s not a nudi from pictures on google. It looks more like a amphipod from pictures on google. Do they eat zoas? From what I’m reading it’s yes or no in the reef world.

So once a zoa is translucent is it a goner? That zoa is not looking good.

Cole.mormon · Sep 25, 2020

Maybe

Update on the zoa it’s not looking great skin is coming off and lost a head today on it. Trying to figure out what to do if I can save it.

Try an iodide dip and coral ex at half the dose do not mix

My gut instinct was a pod. I have seen pods on my corals that weren’t doing great. If you have one that is more sensitive to touch, it may cause them to close up a bit more, not helping their situation. It’s like the vultures circling a soon to be dead bunny. ;Sorry

I second the iodine dip. Make sure it’s staying clean and that chemistry is where it needs to be. I’ve had some come back from looking worse. Fingers crossed!
