June 21st
So i had some type of worm that has been putting out a fishing line looking thing that was hurting my zoa's! so i took them off my main LR and attached them to a piece i bought from Shane. i attached all of them to the rock so that one, they dont over run my pretty purple rock. and two, so that if fragging is wanted or needed it will be much easier! just for safe measure cause the zoas wernt looking to good from being stung from worm tentacle. i did hydrogen peroxide and fresh water dip and then glued to my rock! Now they are are very happy and even sprouting new heads.
Now dosing Kent Marine Lugol's solution for shrimp once a week now!
I also added
fire shrimp
scarlet skunk cleaner shrimp
Id also like to mention ive been winning the battle on vermitid snails by using putty over thier prods.
and i dosed flatworm exit by 3 times stregth cause i saw 1 adult nudibrach and 2 babys so i knew it would be bad if i didnt take action! which i will repeat once a week for a month to kill nudis cause flatworm exit does not work on eggs. (no adults no eggs no nudis)
and i will be using putty to cover the fishing line worm things i was talking about earlier. cause someone told me they could be poked with a prod to break thier shell but, nothing from a saftey pen to a sewing neddle on a rod just wasnt working. any one have any info on these little things! it looks like line let out of rock to float in current to catch food THEN boom its gone. like the thing sensed food or somin. what are they? anybody know?
