Dang there was some nice stuff in that tank too
This makes it very hard to ever buy anything from this store again, and it sucks cause there was some nice coral frags in there too.

That great big fat nudi crawling around the tank..no idea what it is eating...but just being in there is enough for me not to buy coral there again..the frag rack was covered in zoos, a variety of LPS and SPS
It is from my local Big Al's aquarium store... |

But you can always dip them and dip them always when you acquired new frags. No?

Zoa eating nudis. He shouldn't mix frags with colonies. Those are easily treated but I suspect they can hide in the zoas body. I swear when I though I was nudi free I end up finding one in my tank. A dip and quarantine should do the job.

Always dip, always remove from frag plug. Removing from the frag plug sucks with Zoa's, but it's a necessity.
I picked up some beautiful zoa's recently. I dipped and scrubbed hard, no pests but bubble algae was growing under the Zoa's. Completely fragged out the mini colony tonight and all is well. Never trust a frag plug. |

Yeah usually dip..but I have to go get some bayer...but I just don't want to risk it...
I don't have the time or space to setup a quarantine system...I typically try to buy of established systems known to be free from pests...but I do stop into BA occasionally to see if they have anything worth chancing |

I've had corals react poorly to almost every dip. NOTHING, has reacted poorly to Bayer. Not my fancy SPS sticks that RTN if you look at 'em funny, or any Zoa. It sounds crazy -- But bayer is the MOST safe dip you can get.. You just need 2-3 containers of clean water to swish them around in after. Bayer Dip --> Rinse 1 --> Rinse 2 --> Rinse 3 --> Rinse 4(?) --> QT/DT |

Get a trusted frag and dip is way better then a hoping the dip works a infested one. |

The plug is where the nearly invisible eggs and algae spores are. |

Set up a small frag tank, go back and point out the nudi's, then hit them with some real low offers lol.
