Maybe someone with a starving nudibranch that specializes in eating them will want you to sell some to him/her?

BTW to get rid of them, syphon out as many as possible then use saliferts flatworm exit.

ditto!

but turn off all your currents, your lights, everything. they will gather near the top and you can siphon the crap out of them. then does the tank with flatworm exit, do the recommended water changes, and repeat until gone.

The other thing you can do is just wait and most of the time they crash and go away on their own.

Also, this guy (Halichoeres Melanurus) will hunt for them all day every day.

It'll take a while, but eventually it'll get them all.

It likes to eat other things too though, so do your homework first if you think you might want to add it.

That fish should have been called Halichoeres Meananurus cuz they can get mean! Purty, though.

Shoulda heard what an old-timer I used to work for called them. I cannot repeat it here, but it has to do with a penis.
