Need help identifying this

[Harlem20]

I see a couple of these on my some of my zoas the it has like a bright fuzzy orange back looks nice but im scared it might be those zoa eating bugs ive heard and that would really suck cuz i have about 25 different zoas in my tank let me know any info would greatly be appreciated and i hope u can tell by the pics

That is most definitely a zoa eating nudi So sorry.
You want to dip all of your zoas in Lugols Solution to kill off the adults. You will need to pick off the egss yourself - the Lugols won't kill them.

Do it asap

btw - the nudi will be the color of the last zoa that it was eating, so look for different colored ones.

I've never heard of this until now, might be worth a try?
I do not believe it will affect the eggs - so you will need to do it multiple times. Even the Lugols doesn't kill the eggs

Pic of what the eggs look like..pic borrowed from Zoaid


You'll need to scrape these off with a blade of some sort..or a credit card edge.
