Extermination of Nudibranch

[typrobin]

hi all, i juz shifted all my LS into my new tank and noticed this nudibranch in my tank, about 4-5 on the glass and after close scrutiny, show about 20-30 of them on each of my 2 pieces of zoos.... read in one of the thread that by removing the zoos and starving all of them to death will help.....

i haf removed the zoos but will the remaining nudi attack my mushroom?how long should i keep it zoo free before adding new zoos? wat do these nudi pest eat? wat other kind of corals will they attack??

wat kind of fish or watever help to exterminate them???

I have a dozen of the 2-3mm ones and 2 0.5mm ones in my tank . There are yellow and green ones too . A fellow refers was supposed to adopt some of them but since then no news .

I am having FOWLR so no info on what they feed . Sorry .

Well if you really want juz squash them one by one lor

I'm facing this exact same problem right now. But i observed that the nudis seem to be attacking only the zoos and my zoos are all closed right now... You might have taken the zoos out but I think the problem will be exterminating the nudis on the zoos and ensuring that they are all gone before you put them back in. I'm now in the nudi exterminating mode... any nudi that i spot on my zoos will be destroyed... that's my modus operandi for now... but would like to hear from others who had faced this problem before...

very sianz.....the nudi is very well camo in the zoo, especially my green one....i rather juz take out the zoo and stop have zoo....too much trouble....i'm juz worried if it attacks any other corals like hammers frogspawns and torches....

just take them out and place it into a container. mine surviving since 1 month ago without any food and still growing. maybe it eats algae too. caught it at side of glass so no idea what my nudi eats

What i did when i had this problem last time was to siphon the nudis on the glass panels and dip the Zoo colony in freshwater for about 20-30mins.

http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.p...threadid=324433 This is a thread on how ppl on Reef Central does the dip and how to prevent future problems like this. I'm too lazy i just dip in in tapwater straight.

Good Luck Btw, my Zoos are all healthy and as vibrant as before after a weeks since the dip.

Please dun touch it with your bare hands... these fellows are toxic and can cause some irritation when stung...
