'predatory zoanthid spider'
Anybody ever deal with this?
Quarentine is out of the picture,are there any natural remedies or predators?
I know I need to do more research but I figured I start here.
Thanks

i have found one in an old tank of mine(nano) but then it crashed while i was away from heat(timer stuck on)

i would look into zoo dip and manual removal

These guys may look familiar than...still not sure I got em all but fresh water dips have made them easier to pluck.

That looks like them.I have alot of rockwork and zoanthids growing all over.I would have to totally dismantle everything to dip all.
Any other ideas or sugestions.

I see these things all over.Ranging in size from 1/4" to just about invisible.
From what I've read so far I'm pretty much screwed!!
Even if I could do a dip,The rest of the tank is infested.

Find its natural predator and get it! It has to have one, otherwise these guys would be ruling the world....

Same questions as above.
Any predators or solutions to this problem.

dont know of any natural predators that work. you must remove the nudis from the tank. best time to catch them is at night with a flashlight, sometimes you'll see them on glass. I used a magnifying glass, lol. Use a turkey baster and suck them out and into a container or whatever. keep doing this until you get rid of them. Oh, and look for the eggs - they reproduce like crazy. you have to cut off the zoas that have strands of eggs on there stalks or you'll never get rid of them. search the forums for nudi and you'll find good pics of nudis and their eggs. good luck. these guys can wipe out a lot of zoa colonies if you let them go.
