Hermits swarming Zoa rock

[6LINE]

I received my janitor package yesterday and when i got home last night, 2am, one of my Zoa rocks was covered by the micro blue legs. I relocated them and this morning they were back again. :huh . Does anyone know if they will eat my zoanthids? Should i move the rock? I think if i move the rock they will find it again.

Thanks

Oh, and they are not bothering any of my other Zoa's, and there is no noticable algae on the rock.

i found the same ones on my acros in the morning they were sucking the polyps. so for 2 weeks every morning i pulled these out and killed them becasue they were killing stuff in my tank

Well, i cleared them all off, and moved the rock. I guess we will see tonight when i get home from work again to see if they are able to find the rock.

mine were real small mabey 1-1 1/2mm cone shaped, i could actually see them with something in the polyps and after the polyps have not extended

Yea, these are the same, real small, same shape. I am going to keep a close eye on em. The polyps all opened back up, so far no damage done.

it took me a while to find out what was happening. they would only get on the corral at night when the lights were off, and i would have to wake up early to catch them on the corral

That is the same thing happening here. But with my schedule, lol, i work 'til 2 in the morning, so it is easy to catch them red handed. Well, brown clawed should i say. brown Zoa's, lol
