I think I found a nudi on some zoas tonight. I didn't know exactly what type of nudi, so I picked it off with tweezers. Studied the colony a bit more and found another of the same type nudi. Picked it off. Then I found another one on my brown button polyps. Picked it off.
I'm not even sure they are nudis. They are very small. Around 1/16" long--at the most. Could be less than that. Hard to even tell what color they are. Basically, it looks like a slug without a shell. Soft body. Kinda grayish body with some spots.
I've been all over trying to find a picture. Went to Melevsreef and found his pics of zoa eating nudis. The ones in my tank don't look exactly like that. But it's REALLY hard to tell. They are so friggin' small, I can't really see any specific features to help ID them.
I did find some small white spots on the first zoa colony and thought it could be eggs. They are very tiny spots. Like the size of finely ground pepper flakes. I found maybe 4 or 5 of them on the zoas. Could just be tank dust. I picked them off. They were kinda stuck on the polyps and I had to work a bit to get them off. I don't really know what it was. Have you ever seen a white egg sack from a house spider? Looks like a mini cotton ball. These white spots on my zoas look exactly the same, just tiny. Probably the size of the period at the end of this sentence.
The nudis were about the size of this aposterphe >> '
I can't get a pic of that. My camera won't do stuff that small.
Any ideas? My first reaction was to take all my zoas out of the tank and dip them in SeaChem Reef Dip for 10 minutes. But I don't want to panic and do anything in a hurry.
