safe nudi?

[JizzHut]

hello everyone, is this safe? or is this a zoa killing mean nudi?

thanks

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..

[JizzHut]

thanks Terry, so i can expect more of these nudi right?

[hahaha]

thanks Terry, so i can expect more of these nudi right?

I think you should be expecting more. I had them even crawling on tank walls last time..

[JizzHut]

thanks.. think i will just get coral fx and just break my back to do a major cleaning.

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_]

Yeah... Either FW dip your zoas or Coral RX it if you have...

[JizzHut]

Not all... Yellow wrasse is the most common one but they get aggressive and grow very big...

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.

thanks guys, really.

alamak i JUST bought a yellow wrasse! i bought it at jireh, i even asked if its aggressive.sian.

thanks mengyang, guess i will break my back soon on one of my off days! haha

It'll be near impossible to get that wrasse out.... Good Luck getting rid of zoas.

[yikai]

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.

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.

They are quite aggressive to new wrasse... But yeah, the best solution is introducing a predator...
