you have to be a keen hunter.find them and suck them up with a turkey blaster. dip the rocks and or frags if you can. best to search late at night when the lights have been out. examine everthing, hunt down and remove all eggs sacks with tweezers.

Ditto... Also there are many wrasses which are natural predators... Yellow Coris Wrasse and Sea Grass Wrasse are two such wrasses...

Good luck, I have been battling Nudis for over a year. As soon as I think I got them all, they reappear. I dip the ones I can in R/O water with Iodine added. I use tweezers for the one's I can't remove from the reef. I literally pick out Nudis on an almost daily basis...At least they don't attack my Palys... Royal pain in the ***!

Is that reef safe, any negative effects from using it?

No chemicals are good but some times you have to use them...

I'll just stick to my tweezers till I can get a Nudi eating Wrasse. I hate using chemicals.

if the colonies aren't glued down yet, try this dip. it worked for me.

i use a fresh water dip for 10 min and it will kill the nudies you will just need to pick off the eggs if any just make sure the fresh water is the same temp as the tank water good luck
