Nudibranches?
I woke up early this morning when the lights came on & noticed these 2 guys. They glow bright orange under the blue LED's. All I have is 1 Zoa & 1 leather.

I never do well with these photo things….however, the one photo sure looks like the head and antennae of a nudi.

Here are two references….and the most common nudi we find is the Aeolid

Zoa eating nudibranches. They are nocturnal and is why you saw them first thing in the morning.

I got the zoa a few weeks ago. Johnathon told me to watch out for them because he got them also from the same place. When my lights were getting brighter I saw one of them go hide under the zoa. I havent noticed the zoa being harmed (yet)

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! With just the one frag in there, pull it out and dip it every week or so. A freshwater dip will work or CoralRx will do it. Dip it for at least 3 weeks straight.

And remove any you see manually with an eye dropper or turkey baster. Check the tank at night with a flashlight. Also check your frag for eggs, dips will not kill any eggs and if they hatch you will have even more of them little buggers to deal with.

Will do. I removed two of the ones I've seen last night. I'll dip it today.

Are they glowing about the same color as the zoos are? When they eat them they will flouresce the same color as the zoos. If your zoos look OK they may just be some random nudi. Either way, I'd still get rid of them. Maybe it'ss a good chance to get rid of the fish-killing shrimp. Run some Flatworm Exit through there! lol

They are the same color! I at first thought somehow a zoa deattached and landed on a rock. I found it odd that they were the exact same color!
I enjoy Mr shrimp. He didn't mean to cut Mr gobies lip in half.
