I need to get my jar back from the LFS. Knowing my luck that is some un-named Nudi and they will take credit for it LOL! Seriously though anyone found the name of this thing? Anyone tried going down the billion pics on seaslug.com??

I tried, but I only got a little way so far...a very little way. I had to put it on hold to clean my FW tank.

Why don't one of you guys with the clear pictures post them over in Dr. Ron's forum and ask for an ID? It would help all of us to know what they area and if there is any other way to fight them.
I'm still finding them and turkey baste them out when I do. Problem is that my post 40 reading glasses dependent eyes can only see them when they're big unless I happen to catch them on the glass. I've been waiting to get through tax season before I start the dipping ordeal again. Let us know if Dr. Ron has any info. Thanks! Cathy |

I found an old article by Dr. Ron on an old Reefkeeping magazine, It is an an Aeolid, but not sure we will get the species.

My "post 40" reading glasses don't do it for me...I use a GIANT magnifying glass and a flashlight, feel like Sherlock Holmes...

Looks like it to me.

I found that article in my searching yesterday. I used to use gloves, but got lazy and haven't been. Kind of makes me think I should go back to them.

http://www.easttnreefclub.com/articles.html - I'm not sure how much I'd worry about this article. It sounds a lot like a panic attack. I know, I had one once a long time ago. I thought I was dying from a heart attack, limbs were numb, heart racing, blood pressure rising. But, I didn't squash an nudi at all. I'm just saying, take it with a grain of salt.

Is this one I should be worried about?
 I can't tell if it is the same thing. I just got a little rock covered in zoas from a reefer who is downsizing. There was a lot algea in his tank, and when I got home I realized the zoas weren't opening and had little cap like algea covering their closed polyps. I've never had a problem with zoas in my tank - but I've only had about 40 total zoas for about 6 months. I will post some pics of what they looked like when I got them, and what they look like now that I have removed the algea caps. |

Oh, I forgot to mention that the pic above is of one that fell off the new zoa rock when I picked it up to groom the algea off of it. It's about 1/8 of an inch, at the most, and at the time of the pic it had been out of the tank for about 20 minutes - still slightly alive. I think it was lighter in color when I first pulled it out of the tank.
Here's a pic from when I first got them:

When I pulled the "algea caps" off they kinda resembled flowers, they had 'petal' like feathery arms that cover just the top of the closed zoa, and they have a 'stem' like part that extends slightly down inside.
In the first pic listed above, I hadn't done anything to them yet, and almost all of them had these brownish green algea caps on them. Before the second pic, I put them in an area of high flow and removed a few of the algea caps, in the third I think I took a few more off. |

This is what they look like now, a few more have opened, I picked all the algea off that I could.
BTW, Anyone know what these zoas are called? The green on the skirt really glows in the actinic light.
