Found this when changing the location of a paly:

And found this (between the zoas); don't seem to bother though. Looks more like some coral coming back to life from the dead skeleton.

Holy CRAP! What to do? :O I found one and took it out.

And any idea about the 2nd picture?

Majano anemomes would be my guess. Kill them too. But get a second opinion before you do. I am frequently wrong.

I'm pretty sure that's a baby facehugger.

Threw away the whole zoa frag and killed that bugger too! That particular zoa was not looking good. I hope there's no more of these :S

Time to buy a bottle of coral rx

I do dip my corals in coralrx one shot but this one somehow got past it. Read that they hide inside the polyp itself and hence the dip might not get to them.

Go look at your zoas with a flashlight a few hrs after all your main lights go out.I had 15 lbs rock covered in zoas yrs. ago.They just were slowly disappering and found out i had those disgusting spiders.Bugs of any kind don't bother me...but zoa spiders creep me out.

Thanks for the heads up :) I plan on doing that tonight.

That thing was disgusting looking :O Just doesn't go with the reefs! Even anglers are prettier than that thing!
