![]() Had the zoas in my tank for along time, yesterday they were super healthy. Test all params everything is good, woke up this morning, and 12 out of 16 heads on my gold zoas are gone. But totally gone, nothing left of them at all. What is eating these damn things? I dipped all corals when i got them and havent seen anything at all. **** me off

![]() What kinds of fish do you have? I have a rabbit fish, and he one day just decided he liked eating zoas and within 24 hours all the zoas in my tank were gone. I recently added a bta and there was a zoa stuck to its foot an as soon as my hand was out of the tank the rabbit was right there munching on the lone zoa.

![]() I've watched a few videos as of late, of amphipods cleaning entire colonies over night. Nit sure why they do it. Perhaps they smell some decay around the zoos and figure thats the cause.

![]() Possibly hermits. I just noticed today 2 freshly cut orange zoas laying on the sandbed. Easy to frag that way I guess.

![]() My guess would be the big hairy crab.

![]() I just picked up a wrasse to handle my pod situation. I've got some big buggers that have taken out a colony of around 15 heads of dragon eyes, and my sunburst colony is now taking a hit. Just picked up the wrasse yesterday so we will see what happens.

![]() I think pods are an option as well.
I had a zoa die ,and the pods flocked over and ate it ,and then they ate a few of the healthy ones around it after they finished. I think they got a bit caught up in the feeding frenzy. |

![]() I stayed up late last night looking in the tank and found a small snail maybe the size of my pinky nail cruising around he has a white and black checkered pointy shell too small to be a helicus and I searched for hours on the internet looking for something that matches him and found nothing even close. He's got a sucker tube like mouth. He was cruising around the zoas so I tryed to stab him with the turkey baster but he got away. Anyone know what he is? Very hard to get a pic
