Monti eating nudibranch

[t_wolf323]

I had heard something about some or maybe all nudibranches eating montis corals. Can anyone help me out and give me a solid answer as to which ones to watch out for or are all bad? Thanks

not all do.. the ones that eat the montis are small white fluffy looking nudis to a max of about 5/16 of an inch. look for bleaching areas of your montis. they go mostly for caps but will and can be on all montipora.. there are good threads on RC if you search

The search option did not seem to work. The reason that I ask is I have several of those corals and just wanted to know if one of the lettuce nudibranch were on the "bad list".

nope it isnt, you will have to keep it fed once it had clean up your tank though

They are an alge eater correct? Anything else that you can tell me about them? Thanks in advance.

they're pretty short lived in captivity, since they eat certain kinds of algae, and once those are gone they'll pretty much die off... also, they have a tendency to get sucked through powerheads
