Crazy New Colonies!

I have not lost one single zoa from doing this. I shake the rock every minute or so to shake them off and boy did they fall off! Tonnes of the little buggers, as well as zoa eating crabs. All new frags go through this process now. I have some Zoas that are on my live rock and for those I just check them every so often. They are obvious when they are on the zoas because the zoas close up, and nudis cruise over them. Easy to spot so I suck them up with a turkey baster. I like to think that I'm winning the battle because I'm pulling out fewer and fewer every few days.

Nice thing about nudies is that because there a lot larger than something like AEFW or Red bugs its a ton easier to pull them all out. Luckily I have ever only found a Zoa eating nudi once in my tank (which was my 28 cube) and have never seen any after that. Thanks for the compliment mike! Those caps you gave me are doing great still!

I like your pics but most need a WB correction, too blue. Does your camera have a custom WB setting? If so have you tried using it yet?

I'm not 100% sure, I'm kind of a camera noob . What is WB correction? Yes I was finding that most of the photos were just WAY to bright, keep in mind thats with just actinics on so I have a feeling alot of the blueness has to do with that.
