Zoa Spiders...

[pirate2876]

So I found this little guy on a zoa frag that wasnt opening. My question is has anyone dealt with these before? Whats the best method of eradicating them? I use Brightwell aquatics dip, but I may missed a few pieces. Should I continue using Brightwells dip, or try the hydorgen peroxide dip? Any help?

have you tried bayer?

I havent tried Bayer. That is actually a good idea, as I should keep some for the sps. Is it just the home pest Bayer? Do you happen to know the dosage?

Try revive. Also use a turkey baster to blow any pests of the frag while in the revive dip.

I like revive but personally I feel coral RX is better I feel that it kills the critters where revive kill most not all and that is just a personal preference both are good products and are nice to have in your arsenal

I caught another one last night. I dipped it in Revive for 10 minutes. When I saw it was still alive, i added Brightwells medicoral to the mix. I could tell this was noticable uncomfortable for this little bugger, but it was still alive 10 later. At this point it was almost midnight to so I just squished him.

Im thinking maybe a Beyer dip or FW iodine dip may be necessary to kill these.
