What eats Sea Slugs/Nudibranch

[NewbyReefer]

I bought a mat of green star polyps and I noticed one was on it. I got it out thinking that was it but I was wrong. Now there are 50+. They are at the largest 3/4 inch long. They are white and tan body with black antenna. I'm wondering if there is a fish or crustation that would eat these guys. I grab what I can but some are so small its almost impossible to grab. Any help is appreciated.

Most non reef safe wrasse will, Saliferts flatworm exit is much more efficient. Do a couple of follow up treatments 3-5 days after the initial dose to get any eggs that may have hatched.

blue velvet slug will eat flatworms, and some nudi's

Ok so I tried the dip and it turned my soft corals into goo. Luckaly it was only a couple of mushrooms. Also is a blue velvet slug reef safe or not, and will it pick off sleeping fish or shrimp? I was just hoping a shrimp or crab of sorts would clean them up for me but I guess I'm stuck with the little buggers for now.

Velvet nudi eats flatworms and nothing else, when flatworms are exhausted the nudi will starve to death.

Did you use saliferts flatworm exit?

You performed the dip wrong them. Post a picture of these flatworms, sea slugs, or nudi's. They may just die off naturally when food source is gone. Thats what happened to mine.

I followed the directions on the bottle. (Mix 3 gallons of fresh SW add 30 drops and make sure water stays moving so I added a powerhead, and let sit 1-3 minutes). And here's a pic to one.

Those are nudis not Flatworms. I would just swish them off of your rocks in a bucket with some water change water. Your coral may have died because you killed so many of them and they released toxins. Good luck, but I dont see them being a pest for long. I can not ID them, but most are very specific in what they eat and when that is gone they will die off. Good luck.
