just trying to investigate of amphipods could also be 1 of the causes for my missing zoas

i see. mandarins make a good tank specimen if u have lots of pods. since it is unclear wether or not the pods are harmful, and if you have alot, just throw 1 in! haha. beautiful fishies

just found a asterina star on 1 of my fiji zoas rock, this rock also has been having disappearing zoas, seems like i might have just confirmed on the culprit

but i'm sure its not just them because they are so small and so slow , i can have a few colony of zoas disappearing at the same time. hopefully i can eradicate them

asterina stars are nuisence. they always have uneven number of legs and all of uneven size... because they "frag" themselves and each frag grows into a new starfish. repeated fragging will result in deformed looking starfishes. they spread fast. hope you can remove them all!
