Disappearing Zoas
I have/had some nice new orange and green Zoas with about 12 heads purchased on Saturday. I am now down to about 6 heads.
 Possible suspects: coral banded shrimp, emerald crab, various hermit crabs.. The CBS was hanging around that area, but never saw him take a swipe at it. Anyone have any negative experiences with these inverts and zoas? I have heard of CBS as suspects, but never any proof..

What do you have for fish, I had a Fox Face, Red Coris Wrasse, and the usual pygmy angels attack my zoas in the past. As for emerald crabs and hermit crabs I've got a bunch of them and never had a problem with them.

Do you happen to have a peppermint shrimp? mine ate about 10 zoas off a rock i had. i caught the little bugger one night.I feed him with a turkey baster now and make sure he gets lots of food. He's a good boy now, no more zoas for him.

I do have a Fox Face and a Orange Spotted Goby for fish, no Pepermint Shrimp yet.
Will check out the possible aiptasia and nudi angles. Thanks for the feedback. I will keep you posted.

Ok I am now down to 3 heads and was unsuccessful in catching the culprit(s) last night. The remaining victims will live in the sump for now...
That sure was some expensive food for someone.

you could also try a fine mess around the Zoa's rock until it grows again if you can't get the possible culprits out. If it is the Fox Face I've heard if you feed them a bunch then they will leave the zoas alone, but then you may end up with algae probs due to all the excess food. In the end I ended up getting rid of my fox face.

Well...I think I would have noticed a worm that U-G-L-Y! Will keep an eye out for it though.
Hmm, it does sound like the most likely suspect at this point is the Fox Face..
