It's a lower light piece. You also need to redirect your flow. Your getting high nutrient areas which cause cyano bacteria to prosper. Need more uniform flow. Encrusting Monti's low. Acros high. Milli's high to medium. LPS low. Plating monti's , Medium to high light, away from other coral. Your's will be covering valuable space and reducing light for other coral when it grows out.
How many gallons?
Those snails can't right themselves.

I dipped 3 months. One had noticeable damage. Other two were close in proximity. Will check again before lights come on. Melenarus wrasse is on order, 6 line didn't touch the MEN's.

Well, nothing to report on the nudi's. Looks like Coral RX works. Inspected with flashlight. Cross my fingers nothing else pops up.

The Generac 16kw backup generator passed inspection. Tested transfer switch and two UPS that I have for the return pumps for both frag tank and DT along with both skimmers. Generator came on after 8 seconds of power removal. UPS worked great and kept power on APEX, return pumps and skimmers. Thus, no crazy skimmer overflows.

First 3 are some frag photos. I'm a photo newbie.
The last picture is my PET monti eating nudibranch

See how the encrusting base is white. The nudi family is on the corner in the middle of the picture. Expand to see the fingers on it's back.

They are excellent. I've found the female to be a tad better at discriminative eradication than the males. They always seem more worried about how pretty they look and then whether or not someone is trying to move in on their chosen rock.

How can you tell the difference between the female and male Melanarus? Thanks for the input.

Well, Monti Eating Nudi's aren't visible in the tank. No additional monti's dying. The Melanarus Wrasse is a hunter. Have one in the frag tank, too.
Another power outage. Backup generator kicked in without issue. Great investment.
