Shrimp dudes are pods, good guys.

 

Your zoas have zoa pox, you need to treat them with Furan-2.

Go to www.zoaid.com for info on the disease and treatment.

I don't know about the white spots on the zoas. They don't look too healthy though. I had a similar thing a long time ago and just ended up fragging the healthy ones and dumping the rest.

 

The bottom critter is a pod. Not positive but I think amphipod? They're very good for your tank. They'll eat scraps plus if you have fish, especially a mandarin goby, they'll feast on these critters.

The zoa pox need to be treated ASAP!!! I had a colony get it and then i thought it would cure itself....it spread. Either get it out or start treating it now.

Got it... i'll probably just quarantine them in another tank..

Anyone know what causes this zoa pox? I had this zoa pretty high up in my tank probably alittle too close to my 150W MH.

Agreed, i was able to stop it as well. But i lost a few colonies in the process as it spread really fast and i didn't cure fast enough
