You need to start deeping your colonies/frags ASAP or they will spread rapidly.
Look for the eggs on the zoas, they look kind of spiral; scrape them off.
You'll need to do this several times, at least for a couple of months.
If you have a quarantine tank much better since you can keep a better watchful eye.
Good luck

If you have zoanthids in your tank, the nudibranchs are probally going to be the zoanthid eating kind.
I have the following in my 100 gal tank:
Gold Striped Maroon Clowns 2
Perc Clown 1
Purple Tang
Leopard Wrasse
6-Line
Cleaner shrimp
Zoa eating Nudi
Blue Jaw Trigger
One of the above needs to go.... I am considering adding either a green or yellow coris wrasse. Which would be best to eliminate the problem while getting along with the others? My 6-line isn't a bully.
Thanks,

I had a yellow coris wrasse for about 6 months, he was a great hunter and kept my tank in good shape. Then he must have run out of things to hunt and decided to take on my zoanthids. I watched him one evening eating my gorilla nipples. he would eat an entire polyp in one bite. After that he had to go. I still have a lubbocks wrasse, not as good a hunter but doesn't bother my zoa's either.

^ no can do. The algea is an indicator. Filled the tank- and used a bit of tap water. Waiting to watch it melt away, and it will melt away.

Pro biotics. This tank has only been running 2 months. The algea should go away on its own soon- and watching for when it does. started this tank on the mb7 and carbon source, maintanance dose only, being a new tank. Watching how it works.
Already receeding, on its own. But, thats a whole nuther thread. This is a great topic- and dont want to send it in another direction, as I seem to already have...oops...
Yellow coris is doing great!!
First week, every time the lights went out- the fish freeked out. Repeatedly tried to jump out!!!! The fish has since stopped, but- anyone else expriance this behavior w/ their wrasse?
