Tell me more........... I like story time
Pic is a bit unclear but the star on your zoa looks like a nudy, and your zoa looks more like a chalice with the bony edges.
Again a better close up might clear things up.
That was him when he was opened. ( bottom of pic)
What's a paly? Sorry still learning. A polyp? Bought a bunch of books and researching like crazy but this live rock came with so much it's hard to tell one from another. Have a massive either bristle worm or bobbit worm. It's as thick as my finger and wrapped all the way around my big live rock and still didn't see the end. Got good video of part of it eating. The paly is maroonish under normal light and neon green in center under blue lightThat's a Paly alright.
Is it dark green in color?
Here you go,,,,,,,,,, http://www.reefaquarium.com/2012/good-corals-for-beginners-zoanthid-and-palythoa/
I would try to get rid off that worm ASAP as bristle worms are ok when little but that big can be even dangerous for you as many know the sting from it ain't that NICE!!
Now if it is a bobbit worm that is completely different, check this lovely creature out,
Hahahah oh I'm already scared as it is!! It's so ugly and big! Aquarium guy is getting a trap. When a worm needs a TRAP!!! I am now thinking of selling my house.
Thank you. I found out just now it's infested with them. ( smaller ones). I did have 2 fish when I went to bed. Just woke up to check on the babies and one is gone and the other was on the ground too weak to swim. I took him and let him rest and fed him some in case he got stung. After an hour he perked up. I have a ton of beautiful corals but something ate my harlequin shrimp an hour after I got it and now my fish. Also something has mutilated my hermit crabs. I will do as you say as I love my tank and everyone on it ( besides Freddie) are/ were my babies. They even let me pet them and I read damsels are darty. I'm so sad and I don't want to kill my brittles but these worms are everywhere. Longest being at lease 2 feet. Looks like a snake it's so thick and long. I'll read my books on how to properly frag the rock and then dry the rock out. Question- do I need to cycle my QT before I move Joe there or do I just leave him in DT with no rock? Thanks for your help and welcome to my fbUgh, sorry to hear and see this.
So far for great rock, maybe this was the reason to get rid of it to a newbie.
With out fish in the tank maybe a light dip for a hour or so in a bayer bath for some pieces of the rock as it will kill all things live with a nerve system but will do nothing to corals.
You still got all the time and I believe you want to do this right.
If this was my tank I would salvage some of the corals by removing them from the rock and treat all rock either in Bayer or just letting out to dry in the sun for a few days and again re-cure it to get it ready for your tank.
