So I was looking at my Zoa this morning because I been dealing with hair algae on it. I was individually picking the algae off when I noticed this spider looking thing and I have no idea what it is.

@KJ is it any treatment for them ? Or just mechanical removing? As I know they lie eggs inside the Zoas and one infected..., it's really hard to fight with them?

Thank you @KJ
I just guess it, but like I see (reading it all and few others) they are like complete pest, and only manual removing can work (about harmless predators of them..., it's almost impossible to find and get)
