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?

:eek: :eek:

They look like this for anyone who is concerned:

Evil looking things. How big?

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.

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:
