Zoa Eating Nudibranch

rboutin111 · Sep 30, 2015

For a long time now my zoas have been closed up and I wasn't sure why. Well now I know. I have pulled off 4 zoa eating nudibranch. I hope I can remove them all before all my zoas are damaged. My L.A. Lakers took the most damage. It appears that the nudibranch only eat the skirts of the zoas. Does anyone know if this is true? I have been searching for egg, but haven't found any. Of course I'm sure they are there. I have heard that you can kill the hatched eggs with Flat Work Exit. Has anyone tried this?

How long have you been noticing closing zoanthids?
Not sure FWE will do the job on the eggs.

It's been several months. Really sense I made a purchase from Sexy Corals and got some zoas. I dipped, but there much of been some eggs. Dip and FWE won't kill the eggs, but I head if you treat with FWE a second time two weeks after the first treatment it will kill all the newly hatched eggs. I hope this is true. If anyone has any advise I certainly could use it.
