    3 more problems

    Well went to the LFS today and picked up 3 small zoa frags out of the small frag tank that they had. Would anyone like to take a guess on what 3 problems I encountered with these?

    I am going to let this sit for a bit until I can get the pics loaded.

    Hopefully you're not going to say three dead zoa frags.

    My luck would be zoa eating nudis or some other bad hitchhiker. Hopefully your going to say something like you got red hornets for the price of whammin watermelons.

    Ouch! At least you caught them before they went in the tank and did their thing (at least I assume you did considering you made this post).

    Nice looking clam. I would love to see more pics when it opens up more.

    Well they are not going to make it into the tank for another month anyway. This is just another good reason to QT anything that you have coming into your tank. I posted on my local reef forum as well. I hope that no one did anything foolish, like put corals directly into their tank.

    The clam is normally open a lot more. I did do some rotating in the tank with the water change. I was going to feed them all but the clam stayed closed due to me being in and out of the QT. The good news today is the clam remains free of any pyramid snails.

    Little update, no nudibrach seen on my montipora or any of the 3 zoe frags that I got.

    I did find a nice little 3 in bobbitt worm on the underside of the monti, will the monti be ok if I dip in coral rx. I never used this product before on SPS.
