Zoa eating nudibranchs

[Satori]

Will the person with the zoa-eating nudibranchs PM me? I would like to get a few to clean out my zoas. Equally acceptable would be sundial snails.

Uh, how about I clear out your zoas. I could even give you back the rocks they are on if you want. PM me.

 

[Satori]

Lol, I wish it were that easy. I would have to remove half my rocks (along with half my SPS). The zoas are throughout the reef, deep in the crevices, and places I can barely see through cracks. Manual removal is impossible.

Maybe its time to put a beautiful soft-coral munching angel in to the tank. I can't believe that you can't get zoanthid eating nudibranchs when you are trying. Are you shifting to SPS only?

 

[Satori]

Hey Tiff, are there angels that only eat soft corals and don't nip SPS?
As for shifting to SPS, it's been that way since I went to the 180. The only soft things that are left are all those zoas, some problem GSP, and my soccer ball size colony of xenia.

I have only heard of regal angels wiping out zoos real quick, and that they may only occasionally nip at SPS. I imagine it is hit or miss, fish specific. They would probably hit LPS and clams too.

Maybe post in Jay's thread here http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1081393

He has a variety of angels and I know he has some knowledge of what corals they love to munch. I imagine it is a safer bet to go with the sundial snails.

I know the feeling. Took a long time to get rid of GSP's even left a rock out all winter in a 5 gal bucket, temps got down to low 20's and they survived. They kill SPS too.
