So I had my first nudibranch hitchhiker that must have come in on a small mixed colony I picked up at my LFS last week. I haven't had any issues with anything I've ever bought from them, so I didn't do my due diligence.
Long-story short, I lost one whole polyp and the tentacles from two other polyps before I found and removed the little bugger. I very carefully scraped off a small circle of eggs that I found on the colony and put them back in the tank (i don't have QT).
MY question is: Will the damaged polyps re-grow their tentacles, or are those polyps going to die off eventually. Also, what should I be doing in the next couple of weeks to protect my newly planted zoa garden? Thanks in advance for any advice!
