Hi,
Saw on another thread that you had zoanthid spiders. I have found them on my zoos too. How did you get rid of them? I had them two months ago and thought they were all gone. I put the affected zoos in QT and dipped them again last week. Guess what--11 more spiders were found. They were young for the most part, but still there. What did you do to get rid of them permanently? I found out from the Doctors that a sixline wrasse will eat them. Any pointers? TIA.

sadly zoanthid spiders also hide underneath the mat. So you may get all the ones on the outside of the zoo's, but they crawl underneath where they are seldom seen and seldom thought of. It's creepy, i know.

freshwater dip and a powerhead directly at them to swish everything around.The zoo can handle the hurricane, the spiders cant

Will try the powerhead idea. Sounds good.
If you do a FW dip, will that not penetrate under the mat? I left the zoos in for about 2 minutes. I HATE those nasty little things!
