Any new concoctions out there to rid Monti eating Nudis eggs?

[Outlets710]

I have fought these guys for 7 months now, I am close to just taking out all the montis I can get to and just let the nudibrachs eat the rest than eventually starve them out. I can kill the Nudibranchs np, after trying everything that has been suggested I have found Bayer works the best, however its the eggs I cant remove, scrubbed, dipped u name it , one always gets by.
I might even break down my whole tank and do an overhaul but as a last ditch effort anyone have any miracle dips, ideas or suggestions before I take such measures?
thank you much

Keep dipping and removing, don't break down the tank. If anything just remove the montis and wait for a good few months. They would rather die than eat anything else. Then when you get more montis quarantine them first!

I'm fighting the same battle. I thought I had the issue quarantined to one monti, which i ended up losing, but today I found it actually spread to a second monti which I had dipped and scrubbed once I first found the problem. I think I am going to frag off the infected area, re-dip and scrub the coral again, then quarantine it in a separate tank to observe before replacing it in my main tank. I have about 6 monti colonies, so far I lost one and have one other infected.

Good luck!

Its so frustrating, my collection was doing so well too, aqua man, rainbow, sunset, reverse superman, Jedi mt etc than all my caps. so depressing but at least the more I pull out the faster they will die. thanks

Superglue over the eggs instead of disturbing them. That also goes for the nudies when you spot them.

The pain about monti nudies is that they dont require a mate to lay eggs so all it takes is a single egg to start the cycle all over again. They sure as heck cant crawl through superglue though

those were the worst pest I've ever had to deal with other than an x wife LOL. What I did to win the battle was add 100+ blue legged hermit crabs and a yellow coris wrasse also removed any infected areas on corals, this took almost a year and I lost alot of corals during this time. I also fragged clean areas of monties and started growing them out in diffent system to insure I'd still have some left if and when I got rid of them. Long story short it's been well over a year now since any sign of them in my display system and monties I saved are doing great

Easy. Yellow or Silver belly wrasse.
Must have in any SPS tank.

Haha my rainbow and aqau man have a skirt of glue around it. Your the second person to mention that and it really works quit well not sure why more people don't do.

Quick veer from subject


From what it sounds it like everyone is suggesting a quarantine tank. Right now I have 4 24watt atis over a 30 peninsula. What's the cheapest or most iinexpensive way to start one one. Since I am just trying to maintain the corals , would a 2bulb t5 fixture work temporarily?
