lancecobb1 Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Almost every morning I wake up to less zoas. Anyone have an idea on what might be the chowing down on them? Here is a list of all that I have in my tank... Purple tang Orange shoulder tang Potters angel 2 o clowns Chromes Diamond and watchman gobies Cleaner shrimp Sally crab Emerald green crab Sand sifter star Linkia star Lots of hermits and snails And a long spiked urchin Any ideas? Thanks Lance Quote
JeffP Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 eunice worm? - perhaps it's coming out at night. Quote
dsoz Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Angels sometimes eat coral polyps. You may have a crab or worm in there that you don't know about. dsoz Quote
impur Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 My guess off your list: one of the tangs the angel sally lightfoot crab emerald crab urchin (while he munches algae) I would work to eliminate those first off. Are the polyps just gone or are there parts left? Another culprit could be large amphipods. Quote
vanz Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Oh yeah, def watch the long spine urchin. I had one that would only eat the most expensive zoas. Quote
MadReefer Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 I have had an urchin and an emerald crab that ate zoas. Quote
andy Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Asterinas, though they only go a polyp at a time. Quote
