Sounds like your zoas are dying and the pods are coming in to clean up the mess.

You might want to check your tank parameters to see if things are out of whack before any other corals are affected. Also look for zoa eating nudis and their eggs.

I have over 25+ diff types of zoas and only 2 clusters are acting up....I never thought about the pods cleaning up the dead zoas, makes sense. I recently checked the parameters ( a few days ago), everything appeared to be fine. Hopefully it turns around, I guess sometimes zoas just act up.

They're small, blend to the color of the Zoa and lay many many eggs....this is NOT my picture...and I didn't see a copyright on it...just the photographers logo...so hope I haven't done anything wrong?

OMG I just found one>

I was just looking at the zoa cluster below my one thats going out and noticed and bright orangy thing in it. Sure enough its a nudi. I got it off and cant see any others ...for now. What do I look for as in eggs and how do I eradicate them?

Well lots of them are smaller right now, but not very easy to find and some are quite $$$.
