I think its the Nudis even though they are smaller than I thought they were. I brushed off all of them I could see so I hope they are gone.

I wish I didn't have the worlds most lazy wrasses, they never are picking on rocks, the just wait to be fed by me, and I don't even feed my fish as often as most. ]]> Tue, 19 Jul 2011 14:15:59 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=50250&PID=424402&title=zoas-dying-help#424402 <![CDATA[Zoas dying: Help : I would search for Zoa eating...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=50250&PID=424398&title=zoas-dying-help#424398 Author: Brandon

I dose a lot of fuel which has iodide in it.

I also run a UV, I don't think I had mentioned that.


Todays update is that all the zoas that looked bad STILL look really bad, and now clusters of my big colonies are starting to close up. ]]> Tue, 19 Jul 2011 13:11:41 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=50250&PID=424391&title=zoas-dying-help#424391 <![CDATA[Zoas dying: Help : Most zoas need iodide to be maintained...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=50250&PID=424355&title=zoas-dying-help#424355 Author: CapnMorgan

What do you mean by "brushed off". Did you use something like a toothbrush and actually give them a good scrubbing? I almost lost an entire colony of zoas and ended up doing an iodine dip followed by a 3-5 min freshwater dip ,twice , one week apart, before they started to respond. Each time I scrubbed them down using a toothbrush.


I thought I had put that I did this in my Orginal post, but I didn't, weird.


I did an iodine dip, freshwater dip, and a reVive dip and brushed with a tooth brush. ]]> Tue, 19 Jul 2011 00:03:43 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=50250&PID=424346&title=zoas-dying-help#424346 <![CDATA[Zoas dying: Help : badfinger wrote:Are you dosing...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=50250&PID=424320&title=zoas-dying-help#424320 Author: jmw

My parameters are all good.
