nudibranch

Friend of mine called me late last night he said that he had a pink mili dieing off and blew it off with a turkey baster and said there are a bunch of white nudibranch's all over it told him to suck them out with the turkey baster is there anything else he can do. I remember a post a while back about them but can't remember much about them.

Never heard of an acro eating nudi.

Flatworms perhaps? Never had them but know some people who do/did. There's flatworm exit or some prescription stuff that I'm not too familiar with. Hopefully someone else will chime in with more experience than me

there was a thread here a couple of months ago, about an acro eating Nudibranch. If I remember correctly they never found an in tank cure for them, they just established that there was such and animal out there. I personally would treat this animal like an AEFW and turkey baste my corals nightly when I feed my fish. Pick up a few wrasses and see if that does anything and dip some colonies that look most effected. Tell your friend good luck and to be patient and he will persevere.

well now you know the true problem, that's the first step now. buy some wrasses, dip some colonies and turkey baste when you are feeding.

I hate seeing this because.... yes, this will fix the issue but if the reefer gets some corals to grow and he frags them he may pass on the pest to others. Not cool! Fix the issue and QT before adding to MD.
