Wow, I have just posted a thread a little while before you. I was trying to describe to everyone exactly the same thing you have in your tank. I know this don't help you, but I sure am glad to know what I have. Do you know how to get rid of these darn things? They are all over my zoos. I hope someone can help.
Will my zoos survive?

i dont know much about them but if they are zoo eating nudis(correct name anyone?)....they are going to eat your zoos. you can google zoo nudibranch and get some info but not that much. i believe we are going to have to remove the zoo's and dip them in freshwater. i have done this to every zoo thati bought and i dont no why im having this problem now. i only found one in my qt, does this mean there are definitely more in mt dt? i have 2 other larger much nicer colonies that im worried about now. if i remove them from my tank and dip them in fresh water again, could they still be in my rock? how can i get them out of my tank for good? please any info on this would be great. or if someone looked at the picture and said this is not a zoo eating nudibrach that would be cool too.

peglet, ill check out your thread too if i can find it.

yup thats what it is. fresh water dip, shake the zoo really well, and be sure to check it close for any hiding. also check each polyp for eggs. They look like a white curly q be sure to scape them off. Let them rest a day or so and do it again. if you dont get all the eggs, they just start all over again.

do you think there are more in my tank? they possibly could have entered my tank 3 weeks ago but i havent added anything since then. what should i do with the zoos in my tank? just wait and see if they start getting eaten and if they do start dipping them too? this seems like something that could be near impossible to get rid of???

I had some zoas that were not looking very good last week. I took out the frag, turned it upside down in a tupperware container of my tank water, and shook it. Out he popped- Darn Banana Back looking Devil. About 2 days later the zoos look 100% better.
Now it looks like I have zoo pox on a large colony of zoos

well i just put these in qt because one started loosing polyps and the other has a bad case of zoo pox. then while in qt i found this nudi on the qt tanks glass. does that mean that there are more in my dt? do i just have to sit and watch?
