White dots on zoas

Anyone know what these are on the bottom of this zoa?
They look more like a double ring to the naked eye, I have seen them in a few spots. The zoas are acting irritated near them, not opening all the time, etc.

Possibly Zoanthid Eating Nudibranch eggs. Google for some images and see if it resembles what you have.

Yeah, that's a match. Something tells me there is a nudibranch around that laid said eggs....not sure why I would think that, just a hunch :scratchch

I have CoralRX which says it will kill the nudi, but doesn't say anything about eggs. From what I've read I should just pull the egg sacs off with tweezers. I guess I'll pull out the colonies, give em a good dip, and start tweezing.

Anyone have any other suggestions?

Tweezer would work. But most importantly, wear eye protection.

Thanks for the reminder Widdy! I do, and latex gloves too when pissing off zoas!
