I have over 25+ diff types of zoas and only 2 clusters are acting up....I never thought about the pods cleaning up the dead zoas, makes sense. I recently checked the parameters ( a few days ago), everything appeared to be fine. Hopefully it turns around, I guess sometimes zoas just act up.

They're small, blend to the color of the Zoa and lay many many eggs....this is NOT my picture...and I didn't see a copyright on it...just the photographers logo...so hope I haven't done anything wrong?

OMG I just found one>

I was just looking at the zoa cluster below my one thats going out and noticed and bright orangy thing in it. Sure enough its a nudi. I got it off and cant see any others ...for now. What do I look for as in eggs and how do I eradicate them?

Well lots of them are smaller right now, but not very easy to find and some are quite $$$.

You're going to have to either quarantine all your zoas and treat them or remove them all to dip them to kill the adult nudis and scrape off the egg clusters. You'll then have to repeat this process to be sure you've removed all the missed nudis and any missed eggs.

Here's a link showing pics of different nudis and what their eggs look like: http://images.google.ca/images?q=zoa...=1&sa=N&tab=wi

Then look here for more info on treatment and prevention: http://reefcentral.com/forums/forumd...hp?forumid=184
