Something eating spiders. They were on my lps corals. Idk if that was just chance or if they were responsible for my lps deaths.

I will try to figure out how to upload a video. They swim and walk so I know they are not star fish.

Looks like Micro Brittle Stars. If they are, they're part of a good cuc. If zoa spiders, then take out your zoas and dip them according to the directions of your product.

Looks like a spider to me. Legs and body look thin to be a zoanthid spider. Looks like acro spider but I'm sure there are ones that eat LPS too. I defeated zoa spiders by manual removal. Took a few weeks of night hunting. Not sure that will work for these guys though.

:eek: haven't came across anything like that yet. That definitely looks like some sort of spider to me.

What was the best way to remove. I got 2 out of the three I saw with a turkey baster. I still plan to dip in case there is more going on with the acan. Do you think revive will cut it?

I used long tweezers. Dips would probably work on these. Zoa spiders were a bit different because they get into the Zoa itself and are protected from the dip so you can't kill them all.

Thank you. I recently added a yellow coris wrasse to the tank so let's hope he pulls his weight as well. At least I have an idea why some of my lps may have just up and died.
