I just tried to remove the eggs with some tweezer but they broke apart and scattered all over the tank. Will they die because they are no longer attached or did I just spread them all over the tank?

My guess is that they will hatch.
You should remove the colony from the tank when you do that.
Hopefully the newly hatched nudi's will require food immediately after hatching and that they will be too far away from zoanthids to get proper food and will starve. ( this is wishfull thinking and pure speculation on my part).
So now you need to be extra watchfull for nudi's.

When I had issues, I would use a tooth brush to scrub the egg sacks off. This was after the FW/Lugols dip. After the scrubbing, I would rinse them in the FW again. It helps if you inspect them under actinic bulbs or a flash light with a blue filter. This made the egg sacks easier to see for me.

Hey what about a blacklight? I wil try one tonight to see what i get. Maybe even take some cool pics, lol.
I dipped today in FW/Lugols/FE. I killed some of the biggest ones and i'm sure some of the newly hatched ones. I was hoping to flush out some small resident crabs as well, but no luck. I did leave them in longer than suggested, but they are starting to open back up slowly.

Nah the shrimp are a great "welcome to my tank" LOL When I first got mine he had white looking "injuries" on him I thought that maybe he was sick... A year later he still has the white marks so I think they are just him LOL You will have no more nudis when he finishes.
Here he has "Clocked in " he is hard at work cleaning that Frag
Equal no more

Well I got 2 sea grass wrasses from blue zoo. 1, I was lucky enough to have a lfs q-tank it for me. The other I setup a 10 gal tank with some live rock, cheato and a small filter. I have been dropping nudis into the tank when I see them on my frags. I also dropped a frag of raspberry reds in the tank as well as there always seems to be a few on there. I have had the sgw since Thursday. He like to eat pellets, I wanted to make sure he was eating and healthy before I only feed him the nudis. He is much more active now, swims around the tank, looking for things to eat. Pretty friendly guy I might add. Last night I decided to shake the frag of raspberry's as I saw some nudis on it. I must have shook off 6 or 7 of them. I saw eggs all over it. So now I am breeding them in my 10 gallon. I watched them crawl all over the glass. It was great, well except the sgw did not even look at them. I will continue to watch him in hopes he changes his mind.
Do you think he will get along with a Melanurus wrasse in a 75?

Does he look like my wrasse? I have seen many people say "My SGW doesnt eat nudies" only to find they actually have some other type? maybe they need to be trained??? starve him? heck mine is evil to them, even plays with them before eating them... at least that was last year... I havent seen a nudi since about 1 week after I got him

YUP same look... different color... Yours is much prettier than mine... Is he eating Nudis yet?
rocko918, just curious, who told you this fish is a SGW? It doesn't have rthe markings of a SGW, at least not from what I can see.
doctor64776, as I said on the first page, it's strange, some eat nudis and some don't. Not sure why.
Good luck to everyone.

I purchased a SGW and it did nothing for a week then it went to town and looked very similar to the pictures above. I have been nudi free for over a year. The fish died after being in the tank for only six months, carpet surfing.
