Something on Zoa (ID Please)
 
I got some zoas few days ago , I noticed today something bothering one of the Rainbow Hornets polyps , it was very hard to take a picture sorry about the quality but that was the best I could do, and also noticed a kinda strage thing on that polyps like the nest for that bug! ,I was wondring if someone could idetify this bug and tell me how could I kill it.

I have to mention it is moveing very fast like Amphipods, not sure if the Zoa eating Nudibranch are also fast or slow.

Zoa eating nudis are slow moving. Much like s tiny slug.
Look like this

Really hard to tell from your pic what that is.

YES, it was not Nudi it was pretty fast , actually I was able to catch it with pipette and also destroied that nest, it was not Pod or Nudi or Spider , but for sure it was not anything good,

Might be a Zoa Spider. Tough to say from the pic. Take it out and dip it. See what comes off.

The circle on the bottom, that doesn't move, does it? Looks like the tube of a Vermetid Worm.

I agree with Myka, dip it. At the very least whatever comes off can have a closeup photo taken and a better identification. I'm always interested in hitchhikers that I haven't saw before.

Anyone know where could I get Bayer in Vancouver, or online?
