the need to color up a bit more before i post them.
Ok what am I doing wrong?? I have have several zoa colonies in the tank for almost one year. No growth at all they have remained the same size. Water parameters are very good, fed twice a week ... The only thing I can suspect is the lighting. HO T5 ATI bulbs x four running 9-10 hours a day
Any suggestions?

I know a lot of people with T5 and their zoos multiply like crazy. Can you create a thread on the zoa section with pictures?

U have like 3 or 4 sps
Has anyone come across this tiny nearly as small as a pinhead parasites of Zoas ? I have seen many different ones but this one is a first ... no shell, soft body, tiny and seems to only favor Zoas and Palys and feeds on them although I have not seen reports that it actually kills them off. If the infestation is not too large the Zoas may be able to recuperate from the feeding done buy these pests and pests they are for sure ...
If you have come across these pics would be appreciated and of course if you have an ID that would be super ... I have searched and searched but could not find one
Enlarged of course to show detail and look, and on the side of a Zoa polyp

Never seen it Albert. I always dip my zoas very good with coralrx before they go in my tank and my son is great at detecting and removing anything. If i come across it I will sure put it aside before the dip kills it. Coral RX makes flatworms go into a convulsion type of movement and I use a baster to get them.
I have never seen this pest either ... very odd and so small too ... no one who has had them seems to know the ID and lots who have them do not seem to manage to eradicate them, jut keep them under control ...

I have seen many different ones but this one is a first ... no shell, soft body, tiny and seems to only favor Zoas and Palys and feeds on them although I have not seen reports that it actually kills them off.
