they look like baby chitons. Chitons are generally harmless.

Were they bothering your zoas? I've never known chitons to bother zoas, if in fact they are chitons.

Im not sure if they were bothering them or not. I noticed one of my heads of zoas looked kinda weird and dipped just the one. and 2 fell off. I then dipped all the rest and found a whole bunch more. Iv looked online for pest id but can't seem to find anything.

After looking up chiton it does look very similar but these things are tiny. And almost se through. I guess they could be babies but iv never seen such a thing in my tank before lol.

You'd be amazed at what you'd find in your tank under a microscope. So much life that the human eye can not easily see.

Yea thats forsure. But the thing is iv dipped my zoas lots before and never seen any of these fall off. I usually look at whatever falls off under a microscope just to see what I find. But you don't think they are harmful then?
