Zoa eating Nudibranch?!

[The_Underwater_Gardener]

Hello all,

This morning I noticed one of my zoa colonies were closed up and not looking happy with a whiteness all over it. I took it out of my tank and saw this guy... is this a zoa eating Nudibranch?

This colony wasn’t touching any other colony but close to one. That also I see a small white spot on but the polyps are open except for one. Should I remove this other colony ASAP?

Looks like one. I would dip the other colony, just to be safe

+ 1 for nudibranch, keep an eye out for eggs.

Yes that's what it is, look for egg swirls

Dipped corals and there are these white spots on the zoa, nothing came off this zoa but I’m concerned about the white spots

Did you try to gently suction off the white spot. I use a pipette to remove suspect objects on frags.
You can also gently blast the spot with it as well.
As always make sure to wear gloves and eye/face protection when working with Zoas.

Where are you located? I’m trying to kill off pest zoanthids, I’ll buy any you can catch!
