Is this zoa done for?

[maxim.dockx]

I had some zoa eating snails last week and i think there are done for. Just one or 2 heads that open up sometimes

They may recover!
I do see some potential cyanobacteria on the sand that can become an issue

Yea. Tank is only 3 months old. I always thought it was kinda normal with a new tank

I have one colony coming back after 4 month of nothing.

Well cyanobacteria is an interesting bacteria
It is introduced and if it ever gets out of hand just read my link below.

Cyano sucks. End of story. I'd take them out and dip them. I swear by the dips.

I would also take them out and dip them and get an artists brush and give them a gentle but thorough clean. Use a turkey baster or large pipette to blow dip water into all the crevices in the rock.
What is your flow like, cyano also likes lower flow?

I've heard of zoa eating nudis but never snails. Someone enlighten me, please. I need to know more about this.

Dude, those are snail eggs I betcha. Go get a toddlers toothbrush and some dip and get cracking![emoji1611]

 

[maxim.dockx]

I know that. The snails ate the zoa.

Well, if you get ahold of some dip like the ones listed in the site, you'll be in good shape. The meds help heal the zoa's while they get rid of the pests. It seems dangerous and complicated but once you do it you'll feel better about it. Just buying a fish won't solve the situation. It's taken me weeks to eradicate zoa eating nudi's but I've done it. They're all open and happy, and as of 15 minutes ago they're FAT open and happy.
