Beautiful, but Unwelcome; Aeolid Nudibranchs in the Reef Aquarium by Ronald L. Shimek, Ph.D. - Reefkeeping.com

fresh water dip your Zoas , and look for spiral white egg sacks , about cm long

could be from any zoa you purchased. with a week or so. when was the 1st time you saw them ?

even dips sometimes dont help as it wont kill the eggs, if you see and eggs scrub them off

I saw the first one two days ago, and I took it out and put it in the cup, but today I saw another one.. So is that mean I have alot in my tank?

Most likely you have more in your tank. Cant say how much , could be a few , could be alot. Look in the zoa frags ans colonies. It may take a little to rid of them.

DO a dip every week for 3mins or so and keep an eye out for them in your tank, If you see one , donate it to the NYC sewers

What about if you looks closer to the pic that I upload, there's alot of the white stuff crawling at nite, are those pod or those are the one too???

Someone told me to use the lugol to kill the nudi,
Is this a good one?
Warner Marine Research ReefPure Lugols PLUS Iodine Solution 2oz (Saltwater Aquarium Supplies > Additives > Iodine and Iodide )

I think they change to the color of the zoa they are eating.

rbtwo4 · 05-16-2008, 01:11 PM

nudis

Mak · 05-16-2008, 01:57 PM

yea tell me about it, and I just went to two local fish store, and they don't have any lugol...

I think its wise to throw the infected piece and watch your other monti's everyweek to see if they are signs on them.. Goodluck

LOL he doesnt have montis in his tank , mostly zoas.

Fresh water dip will kill the nudis. 3 mins , and use a baster to move the water thru the frags. then inspect them for eggs.

You can also use tropic marin pro coral cure dip , not sure if LFS carries them , but champion wil ship out next day delivery for you , they are in PA so ground is overnight
