I am a girl
Oh the irony. I start doing water changes after my animals looking perfectly fine for six months, and all of a sudden my clams go downhill, and now, my zoanthids.
A few weeks ago, I had one colony in the left of my tank where half the rock died off (it was an approximately 8 inch by 3 inch rock completely covered in red, green and white zoas). I did a freshwater dip a few times, and I managed to slow down the die off. Now, other colonies on the other side of the tank (6 or 7 feet away) are starting to die off too, along with a couple colonies on the left.
I can't even remember the last time I introduced new zoanthids into my tank. It's probably been at least 4 months.
Tonight I took out all the colonies that could be removed. Unfortunately, a lot of them (about 75%) are living on very large rocks that are too difficult to remove or make up the base of my aquascaping. I did freshwater dips on all of them. Besides killing off a freaking stadium full of pods (I can't believe with all my fish I have so many large pods in my display tank), I didn't find any of the usual suspects: sundial or pyramid snails, nudis, spiders, etc.
I did, however, find a CRAPLOAD of another type of small snail. It doesn't look like any picture of sundial snails that I've ever seen. I'll try to get pics, but they are smaller than a pinhead. Any ideas?
Any ideas about what to do with the zoas that I can't get out of the tank?
