UpsideDownPumpkin Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Got this zoa about 2 weeks ago. Dipped it as per the instructions on the bottle so assumed it was clean. But after several placements, it’s not opened up. I also spotted a asterina star (excuse the spelling) so I started to wonder about the effectiveness of the dip. ive QT the Zoas and dipped them again, double dosing from the original and a sort of pipe attached to a brown body has emerged. I’m guessing nudibranch. Any ideas how to get it off? I’ve tried shaking the frag to no success. Ideally without damaging the Zoas. ETA: just tried tweezers and it’s rock hard, almost calcified?

Jackal227 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Are you referring to the tube in the bottom/middle of the picture? It appears to be a Vermitid Snail tube. They can be smashed or broken off with tweezers or pliers. Some people also just use super glue over the opening. Quote Link to comment

Thank you for your advice, the tweezers broke the tube but couldn’t remove it, so I’ve superglued it shut. Quote Link to comment
