Those are truly awesome pics.

AWESOME Zoo's, Robz!!!! Sweeeeet!

Craig Manoukian · 11-25-2003, 03:35 PM

Thanks for the great information.

Hey did I miss the answer to the which kind/brand of glue thay you use?

Rob & Brian, thanks for the "professional" advice and coaching. I have had success fragging polyps by placing the rock in close proximity and then after they colonize the rock, I cut them loose so to speak and it has worked well for me.

Is this a viable option for Zoanthids?

Thanks again.

TDEVIL · 11-25-2003, 03:47 PM

Rob those zoo's are, are, are, are, just awsome

where do you guys get them at, do you keep a very close eye on Bryan's stock list or what, i got a few from him on my BD and am very satisfied, but the colors in some of those pics are breathtaking

PS, more pics please, i have something to drink now so my mouth doesnt dry out

so sorry about the glue Craig, I just get the gel-type anytype but has to be GEL is more solid, at least I like to use that better , and also I try to when fragging zoanthids avoid as much to cut their tissue, if possible try to cut them with a bit of the rock were they are attached...

Craig Manoukian · 11-25-2003, 04:09 PM

Rob,

No apology necessary. Now I'm being a pest. Is GEL the name brand? Who manufactures or is that noy important and wher do you get it?

Thanks $1mm

Robz · 11-25-2003, 04:10 PM

thanks TD, I been collecting them here and there but to be honest I've got them moslty locally and trades

, im never in time when the good ones are for sale they just vanish in a sec

I got some nice ones a while ago at coralfragz but Rocky is not back yet, and the other online vendors sell so so fast

, i havent got luck ....but I cant complain

Robz · 11-25-2003, 04:14 PM

no, is not really important as long as is gel at least when i go to HD sometimes I pick what ever is there (gel) sometime get them all

they must think im really clumpsy and I break everything at home

Craig Manoukian · 11-25-2003, 04:16 PM

Thanks, will check out Home Depot!

Witfull · 11-25-2003, 04:46 PM

craig, i got mine at wal-mart $1.14 for 2 tubes of gel.

Robz · 11-25-2003, 11:46 PM

here is a picture that a friend of mine let me use of the zoanthid eating nudibranch, I have never had them but I thought it would be important have some type of ID,

Robz · 11-25-2003, 11:54 PM

here is the other, either way is one or the other one eats zoanthids the other likes Montis

, to be honest I dont know which one is which but if you see something like that in your tank call 911

Travis · 11-26-2003, 12:02 AM

Just a side note on the nudis, when I had a problem with them I noticed they would take on the coloration of the tentacles of the zos they were preying on. Greenish on green zos, orange on orange, etc. Makes them tough to spot...until you see one, then you'll see more than you want to.

Best way to look for these buggers in my opinion is, if you've got a patch of zos closed up during the day period, look for a closed-up zo with what looks to be one or two tentacles sticking out of it. Hit that zo with some suction and see what comes out.

I followed logical's advice and did a feshwater dip, followed by a dip of Lugol's mixed with some flatworm exit (2drops/gallon). That wiped out most, I saw a couple more and treated the whole tank with another 2 drops/gal of flatworm exit and (knock wood) haven't seen any since.

IMO these things are far more damaging than box snails. I'm surprised the SPS guys haven't started hitting us up for these yet.

Robz · 11-26-2003, 12:08 AM

Priceless Info Travis!!!! thanks so so much I dont have any experience with this little monsters but I will definatelly keep an eye , specially every time we introduce something new to the tank...

thanks again Travis!!!

Travis · 11-26-2003, 12:17 AM

Thanks Rob, as far as introducing new things to the tank, a lugol's dip with a couple drops of flatworm exit before introduction will go along way in preventing fungus and nudis.
