    Predator Importance of QT

    Thanks to Sikryd for helping me figure out my dipping process.

    Found 7 of these little f'ers on a zoo rock I bought. It was the very first coral I bought for the new tank, and QT wasn't banging' then. The polyps haven't opened for a few days, so while doing the water change I yanked them and tossed them in the frag tank for further inspection later.
    Boy am I glad I did! I did a Revive dip and these little f'ers starting popping off.
    Will a iodine dip kill the eggs or do I need to cut those polyps out?


    Look closely for the white poka dots in a tight circle, you'll see the eggs.

    you have to scrape them off with a razor blade a dip will not kill them..
    IF YOU WANT IT,, GO GET IT!
    INSANITY , is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result.

    Did you get rid of the eggs and or Nudi's? I know someone who is desperate to erridicate some Paly's in his tank.

    I've used a toothpick to remove eggs before. They stick pretty good, so it ain't easy.

    Do you know of a predator for Paly's? What about Sundials?

    I guess that explains why the palys of the rock were still open put the zoos were not.

    Im not taking any chances. I pitch that little piece and spent a good hour last night with the lights off looking for more of these little buggers.
