Zoa

[JizzHut]

Hello, i have a few questions to ask please dont mind me as they are some noob questions.

1)my Zoa got this string thingy coming out, what is that? is it good or bad?

2) worms and crab in LR. Should i remove them? do they do any damage? I recently found quite a few worms and crab. which i removed.

Worms are in the bin now and crab in sump.

Please give this noob a advice.

Thanks

That is normal for the zoa.

It is best to remove worms from the LR as they creates trouble more than help.

As for the crabs, you might have to tell us what type of crab is that, probably you can post a pic to show us.

Bro, What string thingy, may I ask? Brown color ones?? If it is brown color, it might be due to stress... Let us know the condition it is in now?

If it is bristleworms then it is fine to leave them in the tank, they are scavengers so they dun pose a threat to your livestocks but if it is bobbit worm den it is better to catch it out..

Bristleworms

Bobbit worms

Anyway, crabs I would just crush them with my chopstick when they retreat into the hole... LOL..

[JizzHut]

Yes, brown.=( theyre are mostly open. I on my MH 8 hours everyday and my water chem is fine. will it be stressed if i keep shifting it?

Thx guys

Hai,

Is it the one in circle? not very explicit.. Probably snap more pics at diff view... Looks like Spaghetti Worm... It only cause irritate to your zoes...

Try looks closer, is it looks like below?

or could be Spionid Worm? also irritator for Zoas... Pls find below...

I agree but the latter is mostly the problem... It is common in zoas colony..

Spaghetti worm will not only have 1-2 tentacles.. They will be in group...

[AloysiusMun]

Yea probably spaghetti worms. Try getting a wrasse to take care of it. Yellow wrasse would probably help. Yep!

[JizzHut]

i tried to google about this thingy and some of the reefers said should get peppershrimp to get rid of it.

ur is fine.

It is aiptasia... Can use kalk solution or buy joes juice to kill them... Peppermint shrimps will work but it is not a 100% that they will eat them... But a small group of peppermint shrimps should show more positive result than 1-2 peppermint...

[JizzHut]

Thanks guys !

[CFOh]

Oops.. kalk solution may stress your zoas too... so uses with precaution ya... I suggested probably try 2x peppermint shrimp or 1 x copperband butterfly first..

Cheers and Happy Reefing...

[JizzHut]

i think i will get two peppermint and see if they does their job.. fingers cross!

[tagie_tag]

i think yellow wrasses help too.

[Terryz_]

i think yellow wrasses help too.

Yellow wrasse for aiptasia???? They only target flatworms and zoas nudi...
