Beat Red Bugs, now have monti eating nudis
 
Alright, talk about bad luck. I just found a whole lot of Monti eating nudibranches in my tank. They're quickly decimating my mighty caps. Anyone have any clue how to get rid of them?

They look like this for anyone who is concerned:

Evil looking things. How big?

mr_alberta 06-23-2005 05:41 AM

Some of the larger ones are nearly a cm long, most <cm big. They are really hard to see unless you use a flashlight. They seem to like the underside of the cap where it is shaded. If you shine your flashlight on them, the cap will look like its fuzzy underneath :eek:

Also, thanks to Fastfish for the PM. I'll see what I can do!

Wow, tough break. :frown: Good luck. I have no idea what I'd do. FW dip the corals perhaps? :confused:

Dang, the nudis are worst than red bugs! Good luck.

nudi
 
In the article I read, the author couldn't find a natural predator or treatment.
He beat them by physically harvesting them with a flashlight and tweezers... :eek:
Good luck.....I hope someone else has better news, the way Murphy works they should be showing up on my caps any day now :rolleyes:

I found a couple of threads that discuss these nudis:
