New Tank Setup (Possible Pest)

[Keith Frazier]

Hello,

I've just set a Red Sea Reef 250 and it's been about 2 weeks since I've added coral. I just saw this little guy at the top of the water line and wanted to know if I should worry. I have a normal clean up crew, various live rock, one yellow tang, two clowns and two bubble aninamies. Everyone is looking good but just want to make sure.

Thanks for your help,
Keith

Zoa-eating Nudi Remove Them.

agreed.....really bad guy to have. He will decimate zoas/palys and theyre really hard to get rid of.
@Lionfish Lair if someone has these with no coral...will they die off or is there a dormant period?
Im not sure anyone has ever researched this
