    I was checking stuff in a QT and noticed some nudi's, so I went and REDIPPED everything again, and on these zoanthus, I noticed these blobs on some of the polyps. Anybody have a clue what they are?

    I touched them with my tweezers and they popped like a bubble.

    The newest Zoo eating pest maybe. Not sure if they are worms or slug But they feed on Zoo's I'd take a few hundred of them for a huge tank we have that is being over ran with the damn zoanthus...

    I was talking to an ecologist buddy of mine, turns out they are blisters. Happens from time to time when you dip them with freshwater and lugols. He called them Zoa Blisters.

    I'd toss in a whole school of them, that big of a tank would have a lot of other choices for them to eat as well.
