Zoas disappearing

[denny_C]

i wouldnt rule the peppermint shrimp out , they are notorious for eating zoos so they would be my top culprit.

most urchins in the hobby are algae grazers , they do more harm with the spines and mowing stuff down then any actual eating of things that arnt macro algaes.

cheers

I wasnt suggesting the urchin was eating the zoas but running over them and then becoming stuck to it until they fall off somewhere else as this had happened to me many times. Its possible it could be the peppermint because mine used to have a real appetite for red acans. Needless to say hes gone now. If you wonna know forsure wait till the lights go out and take a look. You would be amazed at what you find

I have a six-line wrasse and he keeps my tank pretty clean of bugs. He will eat flatworms when he sees them too.

Yup my urchin somehow ripped up a whole zoa colony off a rock n stuck it to its body. I threw him I. The sump n he destroyed my chaeto. Back to the LFS it went.

Check your Strontium levels. If strontium is low your zoas will melt away quickly
