Nudi!

[Pufferpunk]

Look what I found!

I never would have seen it, if it didn't look bright orange in my actinics. I hate to kill any living being but...

Now that I know what they look like, I was poking around in my other tank & found another one. I picked it up w/tweezers & it broke in half & 1/2 of it blew away in the current. Do they regenerate? Will that 1/2 live?

What's the best way to get them out? (other than buying a seagrass wrasse)

In the past I have picked them off and they went away. I just got a couple of bad colonies that have nudis and egg sacks I may be in trouble.

You can see the egg sack at the bottom

Aha! I was wondering what those look like! Thanks

Do a freshwater dip. Theres a sticky at the top of the forum that tells all about it. Good luck!

I can never find Lugol's. I may do just a fresh water with some Reef Plus or something.

My problem is, I have >2 years growth of zoas on huge pieces of rock. Pretty hard to remove 100's of lbs of rock & dip each piece. The good news is, I'm upgrading in a month & will try to dip each piece, before it goes into the new tank.

I hear ya...I have a 4 ft. long 90lbs base rock with zoanthids all over it.

As long as you are going to keep zoanthids it would be worth it to find some Lugols.
The reef plus or something will do nothing.

There are a few other wrasses that will eat the nudibranchs.
I had good luck with a green coris wrasse.

I'm going to look for one right away!

I solved my problem with a Mystery Wrasse. It will completely destroy the nudi's in three to four weeks. Best of all you will not have to disturb any of the corals to dip.
