Good evening,

I got this zoa frag about a couple months and noticed it was dropping heads like once a week... well today i finally pulled it out and found two zoa eating spiders. All my other zoas have been growing good but there right next to the infected frag so im sure there all over. Does anyone have suggestions? I can only dip some of them because most of the zoas have spread to the rocks. The infected zoa probably has dropped 10+ heads so far. I shouldve known something was up but I guess I was just being lazy.
 
Also i have a anemone tank with no zoas. Can i place the infected frags in the anemome tank or will they eat the nem?
 
Interceptor (mostly benign) or Ivermectin (risky).

If you can remove and treat all frags that would be ideal.

I can remove some but most of them are attached to my rocks like matted on them so i would need to pull the entire rock which just wont work in my tank. Thank you for your suggestions.
