Good or bad??

Someone told me to look out their eggs, too.. How does their eggs look like?? I see couple big round sort or white color in the back on my sump attach to the glass, could that be their eggs?? Should I take out all the zoa, and the pom pom and green star polpy and do a dip on it?? If I do the dip, should I do the fresh water? RO water? High salinity? HELPPPPPPP
You have zoas? uh-oh.
Read this..pics are in here of what the nudis & their eggs look like..

You will need to dip ALL of your zoas Best stuff is Lugols Solution..should be able to buy it in most decent LFS's. Follow the directions in the thread for the dip (I think they're in there..the ones on the bottle aren't as accurate)
The eggs have to be scraped off!
The Lugols (or anything else) will not kill them.
If you have nudi's on your glass ypu more than likely have more in your tank. They are eating machines. (sorry!)
Please list what other corals you have as NOT all corals can be dipped in Lugols, nor do so need to be as the Nudis' won't both with them.
You can beat this! It will just take some time and effort.
You might want to pick up a magnifying glass if you don't have one already.
btw..if they are zoa nudis...the eggs in your sump are probably from snails. Zoas eating nudi's lay their eggs on the corals.

Thanks Kathy, I am checking out the link right now.. those eggs looks like the one that I have in the sump, then when I get home tonite, I'll remove it, better safe than sorry...
The coral that I have in my tank is about 10 different zoa, larry Jackson, 2 Ricordea, one pom pom, & star green polp. a cleaner shrimp and two clown fishes.. and some snails & crabs.. that's all I have in my tank...
Also, if you take a look at those pic, I know i have lots of white stuff that's moving at nite time.. Are those pods or those are the baby nudi??
Is this one good?

I use the Kent Lugols Solution for dipping but I'm sure the link you provided would be fine BUT..you really don't want to have to wait for it to be delivered if you can avoid it!
These guys can munch a colony of zoas away in no time...
If you in fact have zoa eating nudis..they wil only bother with your zoas..but I'd check the other corals for egg masses anyway to be on the safe side
LMK if you can't find the Lugols locally today. Might try calling the LFS closest to you?
Another question...how big would you say the ones on your glass were?

Oh boi, got home, and there's another nudi on the glass... so I took out all the coral and have a blaster blasting them, and then put them in a bucket for 3 mins of fresh water.. Holy cow, everything melt.. The candy cane, mushroom.. and the zoa.. is this normal?? Hopefully there won't be anymore of nudi and hopfully the coral will heal back soon...

Yeah for the coral eating nudibranches aren't you supposed to use Lugols or betadine dip in saltwater?
