Snapped some photos on my phone of a few more removed from the zoa tank (Have been constantly hand picking the rocks). Ended up grabbing the big one while flipping a rock over so my hand is pretty ****ed off now.

These are survivors after the dip, 2 nights of staking the zoas out and using a home made trap.

I have a lot of these worms and they never affected my zoanthids. But I did have problem of zoanthids shrinking to nothing and it was caused by Seachem phosphate remover aluminium based. The shrinking stopped when I removed that stuff although some polyp have yet to recover and they are still tiny bitty but they have stop the shrinking at least.
