Just been doing some work on the tank stand this evening, when it got to that time of the night when you have to stop everything and feed your livestock. After giving the tank a feeding, I was sat there just having a nose around and to my amazement noticed that the piece of LR with my new Fire & Ice Zoas on had nothing on it. So I promply reached in and turn the rock around to see if the flow or inverts had move rock and maybe they were on the other side, but weren't. Does anyone have any idea what might have happened? :eek::confused: They were looking well Last night and this morning.

Cheers

I do have lots of them little star fish, but they are with on the bottom and blue & white on the top. I can't see any that are close by. Could it be a mysterious crab, as I do have one that hides in a piece of LR, only comes out when its dark.

the snail is a sundial snail in the pic. yes some crabs do prey on zoos, i came in from work one morning to find a crab merrily feasting on my zoos, needless to say it's not in the tank now.

Hi do you have any Peppermint shrimps in that are not the true ones as they eat Zoas. Or have you seen any small white nudis as they eat Zoas, also you need to fresh water dip corals before you add them to the tank as there is a lot of stuff on them. HTH Twiggy:D:D
