Hitchiker Pest #2

[Joe Fish]

Well, Now I'm starting to see a few Hydrozoan and they are bothering some zoas. What is the best way to get rid of these things?

They are very small and have a little white tip on them.

freshwater dip??

Would that hurt the zoas I have on the rock? I read they could be a result of poor skimming so I'm trying to convince my wife on the EV 120!

Could always try and iodine dip. Just tank a small cup/container of tank water and put some iodine in there, not tons but not to little either. Not sure if there is a certain ratio, i usually eye it....probably not the best to do but it hasn't failed me yet. Let the zoas soak for a while. You can usually see the nasties and stuff falling off of them over time. Then just plop them back in the tank.

Its what i do anyway...

I think it is something like 7 drops per gallon of lugols.
