We have the shrimps in our sps system and our zoa system

If you get one Dylan keep him for a while till he/she does the job and bring it to us and we will keep it going as we have a high turnover of corals so lack of food is no isue
If you get the stars back yopu can take it again ,and so on

I have millions of these things and I've lost two Zoa colonies almost over night. Could they be the cause?

[ben]

some of these are coral eater and some arnt as far as i know. i think the blue/grey ones are ok.
i do see them on my zoes sometimes but they seem to be ok and reopen when the stars have moved off.
