Terryz_ Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Most nudi are not safe.. And this one seems like a zoas nudi... I would just throw it away... This might be the cause why your previous zoas colony stop opening.. Quote Member of: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tench1 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Bro, Words of caution for you. Once u see one, do expect more inside your tank. Get a predator to hunt them down. E.g. Yellow Wrasse. Do observe your zoas colony, and if u find moving 'zoas', its them, the NUDIS, that takes the color of your zoas they had eaten! Coral RX the colony. Good luck.

Terryz_ Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 yea was thinking of getting wrasse instead of coral fx cause my tank height is 2.5 man.. all wrasse makan nudi right? Not all... Yellow wrasse is the most common one but they get aggressive and grow very big... Quote Member of: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mengyang_neo Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 yea was thinking of getting wrasse instead of coral fx cause my tank height is 2.5 man.. all wrasse makan nudi right? Hmmm yellow wrasse is more for preventive method, you will have to get coral rx or freshwater drip your zoa. Do it now before the nudis start to lay egg and that is where your night mare start. That time I take my time, end up the nudis start to lay egg, coral rx is unable to kill the egg. So you will have to use coral rx a few more time and hand catch them at night for the rest of the weeks. I do that for a few mth before they are finally gone.

SRC Member iskay Posted November 4, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted November 4, 2010 It'll be near impossible to get that wrasse out.... Good Luck getting rid of zoas.

Senior Reefer yikai Posted November 4, 2010 Senior Reefer Share Posted November 4, 2010 not impossible to get the yellow wrasse out. but sand digging wrasses are some of the hardest to catch. if it's greedy enough, it will enter the betta box and can be caught easily as per any other greedy fish.

tench1 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 getting a predator introduced into your tank will be the best method to solve your nudis prob. IMO Yellow wrasse arent aggressive at all. Hence, why do u need to get it out later? Coral RX is a short term problem solving method. this can save a colony of Zoas, but in long term, introducing predator will be best. As the saying goes, once u find one nudis, there's plentiful more inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
