Default ethereal beauties but they're wiping out my zoas

lately i've noticed a vanishing zoa colony but i put that down to natural process. for last few days noticed same thing happening to a once thriving green xenia patch that was next to the disappeared zoa. flipping over xenia rock and i found this covey of translucent bluerimmed beauties. hate to flush them away and so set up a 2 gal tank just for them. just hope my zoa productions can match their appetites.

Pretty... Almost makes me want to start a softy tank and ask to have a pair of them from you.

Default nudibranch

almost certain these are nudibranch specie. finished off a green centered zoa colony and were working on my green xenia patch.

Something else is probably eating the xenia (it's probably not a xenia if it's green, but anyways..). Nudis tend to have very specific diets, so I suspect you may have a different wonderful little critter doing a number on your other soft corals.

Same thing I was thinking.... dammit, why can't I be lucky enough to find something like these under a rock? These little beauties could sure solve my out of control zoanthid problem.

That's pretty neat, and beautiful too.... too bad it wasn't a patch of majanos you noticed disappearing.
