Zoa eating nudibranch

[marklugo23]

Has anyone dealt with them and what did you do. I looked up wrasses I can get just want to do it the best way

 

[NYreefNoob]

yes, fw dip wit ha couple drops of iodine, most halichoris wrasse's and even a 6 line wrasse, but becareful of sixline if you have fairy or flasher wrasses

Why not ask Richie I am shure he will come to the rescue

since zoa's couldnt be removed i went on a daily nudi assault, i use a turkey baster to blow em flush em out then suck em up in it and out they went. after a few weeks they were pretty much gone. i added a wrasse and that was it.

infact it became a fun game for my wife to play also and it was neat to see the way they are colored like the zoa;s

You should really try to dip all the zoas and then inspect them all carefully for eggs which have to be manually removed. The dip should kill the nudis but it won't kill the eggs. Lugol's was my weapon of choice when I found on in my nano a while back.

What do you mean by that

daily zoa inspections. under a blue led will be best as you can really see zoa eating nudis under it. take out the affected zoas and dip. I dipped in coral rx and it's fun seeing the suckers squirm and die.

Would to many dipping kill the zoos. I did it yesterday already

I'm using coral revive

i dont think revive will do too much in terms of eliminating nudis.

Hey mark, if you can remove the zoa's , inspect them closely and remove the eggs. They look like a spiral string. Once that is done dip them in a solution of Lugols solution, I believe the dip solution is listed on the package. In addition to this add a wrasse, melanarus / sixline / coris / mystery, either one of the aforementioned will gladly eat the remaining nudi's . This will take care of your problem in no time. good luck.

What's this guy saying?

 

[NYreefNoob]

once again a ph adjusted ( really doesnt have to be ) 5 minute dip in fresh water will knock them off, if your able to pull the zoa's out of the tank
