Need advice: friendly or foe...

[Xtraster]

Hi reefers... i just saw this floating on my tank water surface when i came home during lunch hour... quickly scope it out... it looks interesting yet I'm worried this is something sinster to the tank... i got some corals for my new tank yesterday... wonder where this came from cos i did a dip "revive from 2 fishes for corals and invertebrate" for 10min before putting them in my tank...

Looks like foe. Zoa eating nudibranch.

Oh no... what should i do?

[thomas_lim]

Nudi!
Suggest you just dispose it.

Don't think you want to keep it around your tank. Or if some reefer here is keen, can pass to him/her

 

[Xtraster]

Thanks reefers! I will dispose it but I'm now worried are there any others...

Thanks Akira. Learnt something today!

For the sake of discussion, I understand that berghia and zoa eating nidibranch look similar.

But zoa eating ones have some coloration from eating spas.

The berghia ones are whitish.

I nuked the Zoa colony which had nudis in full plain distilled freshwater. All nudis came off lifeless and my zoas were safe and going strong after it had nudi removed.

Yes better do it soon before the nudi spread to other zoas.

Can dip in coral rx also. But it won't do anything to the eggs. Had this once and got a six line wrasse to finish them. Nudi free till today
