      Get a wrasse an one means possible many,look for their eggs on the sides of your zoas look for zoas that are closed up out of the norm...dipping won't kill for sure but it will help loosen them off eggs are different story they need to.be picked off by hand dipping doesn't bother them at all. So dip regularly if you keep ginding them

      bother.

      Heres an article. I've been readin about dips lately. This is recommending flatworm exit as a dip. over RX and Iodine based.

      as a full tank treatment it seems like a split descision.

      This is the first one I found. I will have to get a wrasse for my frag tank. It's going to take for ever to inspect all the zoas I have... Will they only lay eggs on zoas or anything?

      anything in general but commonly on the zoas. They can be tweezed off just once spotted handle in a bucket or somewhere outside of tank

      I would get a sixline or yellow cori wrasse. They are both great bug catchers. Assuming of coarse that you have a sandbed.
