Something eating zoanthids

Sometime zoas just melted away for no reason too

Hey lewk, if you don’t find lugol's any iodine supplement (I use Kent's) would work. Not that I'm recommending, but I've dipped zoas in plain ole chlorinated tap water for a minute and they were just fine.

we use tap water for 10 min.

we use tap water for 10 min.

so just tap water by itself?

I'd go with RO. Swish them around to make sure all the beasts fall off.

That’s what I do. I used to throw some iodine and declor in a bowl but now I just dip them in tap water. I wouldn't do this with expensive corals, but regular ole zoas get SA aqua. However, I don’t dip for 10 minutes like Bird, only because I have watched nudis and pods die in a minute or two and figured that’s long enough…but he has a lot more experience than me.

Only other thing that I’ve came across with zoas are light changes which can really affect them. I’ve had some disappear practically overnight, and I believe it was due to my LED’s high intensity.

+1 ShAgMaN I changed from a PC to a 6 bulb ATI SunPower and my zoas withered back. Most of them walked to the underside of their frag plugs and hid.
