Sympodium eating Nudibranch

[Pagrus]

Hi, I would like to shared my recent experience with sympodium. Just two weeks ago I introduced a new blue sympodium piece, after a couple of days open. The piece started to shrink and parts of it disappeared. I decided to performed a lugols bath and a perfect mimetized nudibranch appeared. Hope to be able to recover the piece now.

Yep,,had the same experience as you.
I did not have the luxury of knowing the problem til they ate all of the sympodium,,there were actually two i found..
It did not take long at all for them to eat ALL of my mid size sympodium coral..

If they eat Xenia too I'd pay for shipping

Make sure you find their eggs too. I believe some of them are hermaphroditic and can breed with only one of them.
