Zoos from the wild have a high number of parasites on them - zoo eating nudis, snails and not to mention their eggs.....you should do lugol dip and try to flush them out, i will usually take a toothpick and inspect the zoos after the dip to try to remove them, especially the snails - they may just hide in crevices underneath the zoos and you can see their eggs near their home......may have to perform this a couple of times and observe the zoos in the tank. If the zoos are not disturbed by these parasites anymore, they will gladly open up....

Can I use lugol dip for my corals?????

[pegasus1010]

lugol dip is for corals which are injured or bleaching, sort of medicine for corals. freshwater dip is to remove those nudi parasites.
