Eew, monti eating nudis likely. Can you remove the peice and treat or do you have more than one? If you can remove all your montis take them out and treat repeatedly you might be able to rid them. If not you can try mandarin, scooter blenny, some wrasses that hunt rock, etc to try and keep them in check. I had them about 9 months ago, they decimated one monti. I got a mandarin, mystery wrasse and a painted fairy wrasse, havent seen a nudi since and all my othe montis have been fine

THanks, but not nudis, they are a species of anphipod

Yup, doesnt look like nudis. Are they doing any damage?

These bugs do the polyps to hide. The white zones was before I introduce in my tank the montipora (it didn´t receive light), the bugs didn´t it.
