What's on my zoas?

Grows between them and on the polyp to where they close up. Is this dino?

It looks a bit more like ordinary hairy algae to me. Do you have any good algae eaters in the tank?

A yellow tang but doesnt go near my frags on the rack. Something is up with him since he hides a lot lately. The algea over the polpys when closed looks almost like a net covering them.

I do have a bunch if those dang things that are all over my LR. What are the strings though? I thought they just put out a web to catch food which i see all the time.

I was going off your description of a web. It could be algea.

Not a vermetrid snail. Its just algae. I had it. I got some hermits and they cleaned off the zoas in an hour.

Get a hermit, place it by the frag, let it do its thing and feel free to keep it or give it back to the store.
