Thread: Hermits swarming Zoa rock

    Default Hermits swarming Zoa rock

    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.

    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
