Hey D is this a fact? Bumble Bee Snails eat zoas... The guy at the LFS knew i had Zoas and mentioned nothing about them eating zoas... He sound like he knew what he was talking about, or maybe he just wanted to add to the sale

Some sites I have checked in the past listed Bumble Bee snails as "not reef safe."

I say inspect all your zoas and get rid of it manually. Either dip it in RO or get the Furan2 as J recommended.... Wish you luck ...Atleast you know your problem mine is worst after I frag a zoa it melts

....

keep us updated

You need to check ALL your zoanthids and manually remove the snails. There are probably egg sacs lurking around, so those will need to be carefully scraped off the zoanthid. Check back regularly for any you may have missed.
