ID Please... Pod maybe?

[digitalreefer]

I think it's a pod, but my sixline didn't go after it so I was wondering if it was an amphipod or something else.

looks like a nudi to me i might be wrong,and if it is there are some that eats zoos so maybe removal my be in order.

I'd guess nudibranch as well. Not a good sign seeing as your zoa crazy...if i see it in person I can id it for you...

 

[fritz]

The zoa eating ones (that I've seen) are more of a brown/burgundy color. I would be fearful if I were you. Perhaps isolate him in a small cup and toss some random stuff in it to see what he eats (including one zoa polyp)

 

[deelucky]

if he is the zoo eating type than there is a possiblity that there is more with eggs.(i hope not) but if you have a bunch of zoos that have been closed for a while that might be the reason why.

 

[digitalreefer]

I'll keep my eyes open... I was reading that they take on the color of the zoas they eat, so I'll be on the lookout for them.
Thanks.

I have one of this in my live rock hes been out since this morning he hasnt been trying to hide hes just there on top of the rock what to do with him?

 

[nanoreefer22]

Findingnemo are you sure? Since you have no coral and they eat zoanthids it should die off before you get anything into the tank.

Did u see the picture ? It kinda looks like a shrimp but clear color and very tiny.

Looks like a pod of some sort. Those are good guys big difference from a nudibranch.

what you have there is a pod and you leave them in there,for they will be food for other fish and stuff.

 

[nanoreefer22]

Amphipod's and copepods are the only two i know

 

[findingnemo]

I think hes dead

 

[nanoreefer22]

Don't worry about soon you're gonna have more than you could have ever wanted.

 

[findingnemo]

Oh ok , since I woke up today hes been lying on the same spot.

digitalreefer's pic looks sorta like a live brine shrimp, but white
but since I'm assuming it was crawling on the glass, then probably nudi

findingnemo - Your pic is an amphipod. They tend to be nocturnal. If the one you saw isn't moving, it might just be a molt. Turn on the lights in the middle of the night and you'll see them crawling about
