Athier Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Looks like a snail to me but not so sure it's exact. Just saw it crawling in zoas earlier when I turned on the light. Would it be safe to leave it in tank? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Clement Chen Posted January 9, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted January 9, 2014 looks like a nudibranch. does it have like feathers or hair on e back? if it does probably a zoa nudi, i had a big headache with those they will eat the zoas and they reproduce fairly quickly. can use a wrasse to eat them Quote Clem's Clam Corner (Decommed) 60cm x 40cm x 30cm Tank Nano tank reboot v2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw it in that position earlier and couldn't monitor much as need to rush to workplace. Half of it body was already in one of the zoas mouth.. I gotta check it out again when reach home. Six line wrasse will do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member brojj Posted January 9, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted January 9, 2014 Take out & dip in fresh water for 3-5 mins. Alternatively u can use coralRX or any other similar products. Get yellow coris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Clement Chen Posted January 9, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted January 9, 2014 Take note the dip has to be done regularly as it does not kill the eggs, they can also hide in rocks etc, so also not 100% Quote Clem's Clam Corner (Decommed) 60cm x 40cm x 30cm Tank Nano tank reboot v2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member iskay Posted January 9, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted January 9, 2014 The photo shows a small conch in the middle of the zoa. I've not heard of zoa-eating conch but to be safe remove it. Snail-wise, the sundial snail is the confirmed eater of zoas. This page will be of help... http://www.zoaid.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=384 1 Quote "Be formless... shapeless, like water.

Athier Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 At last! It is caught... Thank you for the inputs dear bros. Really appreciate it Two of the zoas seems a bit damaged. Can I just leave the zoas as it is? Here the pic of the damaged zoas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athier Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 And here is the crawler pic. It is caught manually. Do advise whether it is safe or unsafe to leave it in the tank. Thank you.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blusafe Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Looks like a harmless snail, not a zoa predator. It might have been irritating the zoas by crawling all over them. My large turbo snails and cucumber do this all the time but it's only temporary. The zoas are fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athier Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 Nudibranch. Generally bad news... Look for ribbon like threads those are the eggs. I caught one more that is squeezing inside a zoas head.. Bro, Is there anyway that I can take out the small rock with the zoas to do some cleaning or etc? Btw, can help to provide me example picture of the eggs? Thanks.. Is the whitish lump/'silicon' the eggs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
