One way is to freshwater dip it and shake it until the nudi drop off... but with the detaching polyps, all the polyps might fall off too... I can only recommend you to stick the dropping polyps into seperate frag if you want to save some of the colony...

Ya, it is zoas predator Nudibranch.. Probably try CoralRX dip first.. the faster solution....

amphipods, is safe and benefits to our tank, uses to classified under zoas irritator on some website, but song no significant damage to me..Pros more than cons..

Cheers and Happy Reefing...

Bro, What string thingy, may I ask? Brown color ones?? If it is brown color, it might be due to stress... Let us know the condition it is in now?

If it is bristleworms then it is fine to leave them in the tank, they are scavengers so they dun pose a threat to your livestocks but if it is bobbit worm den it is better to catch it out..

Bristleworms

Bobbit worms

Anyway, crabs I would just crush them with my chopstick when they retreat into the hole... LOL..

What is the best way to get rid of bristleworms I have quite a fue of them and would like to get rid of as minny as posible. Kawia

You may want to get yellow wrasses to control the nudis.
