henryc524 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Hey everyone! This morning I noticed that a few heads on my zoa colony have their skirts nipped at. I always see my hermit and snail hanging out right on the colony which worries me. Can it possibly be the hermit which is nipping away at my zoa? Link to comment

Fishes? Link to comment
cheryl jordan Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Your choices are Asteria as already mentioned Zoanthid eating nudibranchs. Sundial snails. Perhaps a hungry crab, but unlikely. Link to comment
ry05coupe Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Amphipods will also eat zoathids. Link to comment

Flying Bones Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Do you have an emerald? I watched mine pluck my solitary bambam frag from the disk and retreat to the rocks...I couldn't react fast enough to stop it. Link to comment

ry05coupe Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 they will?! ARGH! Yup. It is only a problem for me when I don't have a predator like a wrasse in the tank though. Even when I had the spotted mandarin they went nuts because he wouldn't eat the bigger ones. Link to comment
