Any idea what type of nudibranch this is? Just found him a some cousins in my zoas and not sure if I need to remove them or leave them be. They all look alike, only this is the biggest one.

Thanks in advance!
 
I strongly suggest dipping your zoas if possible, these guys like to lay eggs and can hide extremely well.
 
Dealing with the same thing in one of my tanks. Pull them out as you find them. Agree with Pete polyp treating with Flatworm exit. You can also get some wrasse that may eat them.
 
Wrasse will be hit and miss. They also may only control a population instead of eradicate them completely.

Agreed, no fish is a sure thing or a complete solution. I dip colonies, pull them as I see them, treat with Flatworm exit and have a wrasse on patrol. I'm all in when it comes to trying to control these pests.
 
That's definitely an aggressive way to go about it lol. I found fwe dosed at 1 drop per gallon every 5 days for 15 days (3 treatments) completely erased them
 
I had the same last year...went through 4 bouts of FWE on the tank, including dipping them 3 times in coral rx...
I did 1 drop per gallon every 4 days...should have probably done it more quickly...like every 3 days ...
