I saw this prehistoric thing at first thought it was a apista but then I saw it moving …I’m scared as I read they eat zoa colonies I just got a mushroom colony that I’m 100% sure it came from as I didn’t dip it :/ I’m scared this isn’t the only one in there is there most likely more or do they travel alone ?!?!

this is indeed a zoa eating spider and they are tiny and will literally crawl into the core of a zoa and feed. Just assure using a flashlight it was a lone spider.

Inspect daily especially at night on surfaces of zoa with flashlight
Zia’s shrivel in the dark and any eggs will be at base
