Someone Please Help Me Save My Montis!

[ostrow]

The reproduction rate of montipora nudibranchs is about what I anticipated. 3 mos after the death of my radiant wrasse, and I return from 2 weeks of vacation to see many montis dead and others on the verge of all gone.

I need a radiant wrasse! If you have one or have seen one in the last day or two, please let me know.

Thanks,
Joel

Thanks. I emailed them and will call in the morning. What is your experience with that shop? Fish healthy?

Have you tried Ocean Design? All their fish are QTed for 2 weeks.

Bluezoo is a great online vendor if you end up ordering from them.

got both from go fish. looked really good. with the 6-line in the frag tank i assumed all would go smoothly.

flame hawk immediately took after one. now trying to catch it with the trap, but i don't think the hawk will go in the trap as readily as the 6-line did. crud.

No offense but the wrasses are hit or miss. I think you need to remove them and place in QT. I use Levimisole Hydrocloride (sp) but I do believe that Tropic Marin Pro Coral Cure will also kill them. I don't think that I would take a chance with the wrasse. I would still incorporate one but not to get rid of them. Just my 2 cents.

 

[ostrow]

Well, I tried all that and fresh water dips the first time I had the infestation and none of the treatments had any effect. Then, when I added a radiant, it wiped them out AND all my corals recovered, even those that had only a tiny bit of life left on them. Other wrasses are hit or miss, mostly miss, I agree. But radiants are not only IME reliably effective, they are widely reported to be reliable predators fo these.

I just really dont think that a radiant is going to keep up with the rate they are hatching. Good Luck, I hope it works out.
