Try to get a Mandarin to keep your Pods in check.

I have a Mandrin,whipfin flasher, carpenters flasher, lubbocks fairy pair a CCB and 2 clowns. and still have pods out the yang/yang

Best way to keep your pods away from your zoas is to put them in a place where pods can't get to them. Eggcrate and a magnet work well for this. Since I don't have that many magnets I like to use some suction cups with a well cleaned glass.

Exactly....Something about the RPE that is tasty or something.... I am about to give up on them, although they are one of my favorites but I can't take it any more much less spending money on pod food.....

are you sure its pods that are eating the skirts?

all of my palys seem to be tasty to something also. but i have my suspicions that its these little white asterina star fish that are eating the skirts off of some of them. my RPE's, PRPE's, and AOG's seem to be the most tastey.

hmmm, i'm not sure thats the case in my tank. my zoa tank, which is a 20g-long...has a mandarin AND a six-line wrasse. i dont see any pods unless i lift rocks up etc.

but here's a thought, say my problem is POD related, as well as everyone elses problem. are these normal pods? or some sort of other POD that likes to eat corals, and not tastey to our mandarins and wrasses?

has anyone got a shot at these little buggers to actually identify them?

I dont have a pic of them, But there normal pods. the mandrin and the lubbocks fair pair i have not had very long so maybe things will start to change soon

you could use interceptor, it will wipe out any pods

I would suggest adding a mystery wrasse and try feeding your tank a little less... After I recieved my mystery wrasse my pod population has almost been wiped out.
