Re: Zoanthids dying
NoobDeBiff says he's seen the leopard wrasse eating the zoanthids. I said, "actually eating the zoas, or picking bugs from in between them and eating the bugs?" He said it was eating the corals for sure, that the wrasse would take a bite and pieces of zoanthid would come out of its mouth and float around in the tank. Sigh.

Re: Zoanthids dying
Definitely collinista....I have a ton of them that comes out when the lights goes out.Those and stomatellas seem to be the best algae grazers that reproduce and actually survive.Although I've never seen them on a coral though.As far as your zoa problem,no clue but it doens't seem like a hitchhiker predator.

Re: Zoanthids dying
I have those same snails. I started a thread about them a few months ago. Harmless and nocturnal. Check your tank with a flashlight at 2am. There are probably hundreds of them in your tank. My research says they are good algae grazers and will not exceed 3/8" diameter in even the most extreme growth cases. Most are 1/4" and smaller. They will grow until they have reached maximum population density. Then some will die off. They will level off their own growth/reproduction eventually.
I have some zoas that are dying right now too. Pisses me off.

Re: Zoanthids dying
I've still never seen the wrasse eat the zoas. And they are not exactly known for eating those. I'm not totally convinced. Of course, the giant mat of boring brown zoas are doing perfect. It's only my expensive, bright colored ones that seem to be suffering.
