Obi Juan kenobi Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Dip all your zoas Link to comment
SmittyCoco Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Say you do dip all your zoas. I am sure it would be beneficial to quarintine, but will the nudis that are left in the tank find somthing else to eat and live or will they quickly die off? If they will starve without zoanthids how long would it take? Link to comment

If there are no zoas to eat, the nudis left behind will die off. Nudis are specialized eaters. Link to comment

Chyendra Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 what do zoa eatting nudibranches look like? So of my zoas have weird dark spots on them occationally, but I can't tell if they move or not. Link to comment
Rocket Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 If I remember right they are little (red) dots on your zoas. Link to comment
Pickle010 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 If I remember right they are little (red) dots on your zoas. Red bugs are what you find on SPS - nudi's look like little black ticks. Dipping them alone isn't completely effective... you have to blot off the eggs... they form in a white "C" pattern on the zoa stalk. I dip mine in Kent Marines Tech D BEFORE they go in the tank and visually inspect them for signs of nudis. If you do spot eggs you have to blot them off. I use a paper towel. If you are sucking them out with a turkey baster they are still in there and still laying eggs. You have to get the adults and the eggs to be completely pest free. Link to comment
chazde3 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Red bugs are what you find on SPS That reminds me that I need to treat my sps soon. Stupid little red bugs. To the op, I'd help but I've been fortunate enough to never have any nudis. Link to comment
Rocket Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 ah see I just knew I had the color off. Hence the () around red. Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 So um, guys, have you bothered to check out the thread on Zoa Pests and Diseases stickied at the top of the Pest & Disease Forum???? Link to comment
Nanobuds Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 they change color depending on the zoa they eat Link to comment
