Good or bad guy?

Bad. It is aiptasia. Should be removed. It will kill your zoas, and they spread like wildfire.

Use aiptasia X or use some boiling lemon juice in a medicine dropper.

 

[Horvy19]

Can I pluck it?

 

[fort384]

No. Plucking it will just cause it to spread. It will break apart and grow new ones in other places in the tank. It needs to be killed in place.

I agree that it needs to go. They can take over a tank quickly.

Thanks guys will do

Will the lemon juice kill my zoa or part of it?

 

[fort384]

It could hurt part of them, but the aiptasia is guaranteed to kill them.

Use just a few mL, administered directly to the mouth of the aiptasia. Most likely your zoas will be fine. Worst case, a couple of heads close up for a few days.

Just zapped that s.o.b. and two other little ones on my other zoa. They looked more like little feather dusters but I'm not takin a chance! Thanks for info and help today!
