You hit the nail on the head in your first post

It's the zoa eating nudis. If you found one their are definitely more to be found. You need to start dipping every zoa colony every 3 days to break the life cycle. And make sure you are checking for eggs like I told you before and you will get through it

thNks turbo, when dipped in revive no nudis fell off just pods, so I guess that's why I thought there were no more nudis. **** things are sneaky. I'll try dipping in revive again, should the polyps be closed when dipping the zoa? Or does it not matter? Thanks

I'm on day three and some of my colonies that had polyps closing up are now opening, the only downside is the skimmer goes crazy for a whole week but I'm ok with it if my corals look happy

, Im considering doing the dose as part of a bimonthly routine to prevent issues.

during the day time the nudis may hide under the rock or deep down in between the polyps. just keep up the dipping regimen and you will nail them. i recntly switched from revive to coral rx pro. and for me this dip is like a miracle worker for zoas. i have brought back many colonies from the dead after a few days of dipping. for me it seems to work better than revive.

it doesnt matter if the zoas are opened or closed for the dip

What do zoa nudis look like? I found something that looks like a really small nudi that looks kinda green and spikey. If so, should dip all zoas and palys? I'm using Bayer complete.
