Melting Zoas

[dough]

Last night my Tub's true blue zoa where open and happy. Didn't really look at them this morning but got home this afternoon and they've melted away. A little bit of flesh is all that is left. My Radio Active Dragon Eyes look like they're starting to melt as well. You can see a little of the yellow green inside the flesh but that's about it. I lost some red zoas back about a month ago or so. I just realize they where gone one day off a frag rock. My Palys look okay.

Any ideas? I keep a eye out for nudi's but haven't seen anything.

I'm ticked about the Tubs.

Yeah check for something eating them. Nudi's are pretty small so may be hard to spot. Some even change colors to blend in.

Dough have you seen any of the blue / greyish astrena starfish in your tank? They will kill Zoas. I have seen it with my on eyes many times. The colony or parts of it will die overnight.

I've got a few of those starfish, will keep and eye for them.

Do nudi eat palys as well?

 

[dough]

Never mind Zomania had the answer to the paly question.

If you see any of the blue / grey astrenas on your LR pick them out. The white ones are OK. The others will kill your zoas.

Yes Nudi's will eat zoas
