If there any fish that for sure eats nudis?

I was curious if there any fish that is a for sure bet to eat nudis if you were keeping a zoanthid only tank and not worried about the fish eating shrimp, crabs, snails, and harrasing fish ect...

I had a green coris wrasse that took care of the problem I had with nudibranchs.

Green coris might be worth a try. I was kinda also looking for something that might take care of the pesky snails to. I was thinking maybe like a banana wrasse or a lunar wrasse and maybe a harlequin tusk or a puffer of some sorts for the snails? Well I don't have any nudis yet (knock on wood) but I was just looking for a preventative measure.

Do you mean the sundial snails? Fortunately they are real easy to spot, so manual removal is easy.
Also in the big thread about the sea grass wrasse ( a nudi eater) alot of people talked about a lot of other wrasses that did the deed for them as well.
I talked to 2 different lfs owners that had sea grass wrasses in.

For snails get one of the Hawks they are great at eating snails, the flame would be a great addition to the tank, but still add a wrasse for the nudi prevention. Green coris might do the trick, but research the wrasses well as some get to a great size. Not all, but some can become pests over time too. Just a thought. Thanks again Joreef for the frags, they are still doing well, they even survived my recent move across town.

Thanks again,

Rick

My lunar wrasse took care of my nudi and sundial snail problem in less than a week.I've been pest free for months now.
