Found zoa eating nudi... dip?

[appaloosa1]

I found a zoa eating nudi on my new zoas. I'll take him off, I haven't seen anymore but I'm afraid there may be eggs or babies. What kind of dip would you recommend? freshwater or iodine?

well freshwater makes them falll off but eggs are another thing ur guna have to manualy remove and dip everyonce in a while to see if anymore are in there

i just pulled the one guy off. i'm going to keep an eye on my zoas and see if they start looking better and see if i can find anymore. i have some iodine dip from seachem that the LFS gave me a bit of to dip another colony that has some sponge growing on it. so i will try that first! thanks!

this doestn really help with the zoas, but i had a colony or green zoas that had a sponge growing over them. if you still have the sponge problem, dip the entire colony in the iodine, then let the whole colony dry out for like 15- 20 mins. then scrape off as much as the sponge as you can, swoosh it around in some iodine again and put it back in the tank. that helped with mine and i was battling it for awhile before i did this.
