This sound scary.

I saw it in that position earlier and couldn't monitor much as need to rush to workplace.

Half of it body was already in one of the zoas mouth..

I gotta check it out again when reach home.

Six line wrasse will do?

The photo shows a small conch in the middle of the zoa. I've not heard of zoa-eating conch but to be safe remove it. Snail-wise, the sundial snail is the confirmed eater of zoas.

Looks like a harmless snail, not a zoa predator. It might have been irritating the zoas by crawling all over them. My large turbo snails and cucumber do this all the time but it's only temporary. The zoas are fine.

yes agree.. It could have irritate the zoas. Thanks for the input Bro..

Nudibranch. Generally bad news... Look for ribbon like threads those are the eggs.

I caught one more that is squeezing inside a zoas head..

Bro, Is there anyway that I can take out the small rock with the zoas to do some cleaning or etc?

Btw, can help to provide me example picture of the eggs?

Thanks..

Is the whitish lump/'silicon' the eggs?
