Is this a type of nudi?

Diveks · Dec 29, 2021

I found this guy near the waterline after a water change. Its pretty large and can be easily spotted with a naked eye. Its in a bucket now.

Ive also seen something smaller that had a similar body type but a roundish hard piece on one end that looks like what some snails have on their ‘tails’ to cover themselves inside the shell. Didn’t have time to photograph that one. As i got it out ASAP

No acro/monti/birdsnest death but ive just had an established gold torch wither on me. Also not sure if it was the cause but my zoas closed up so i gave them away to a friend thinking they didn’t like my low nutrient (dipped and nothing). They seem to open up well there, so im guessing the zoas might not like my parameters.

EDIT: oops sorry think i mixed up nudis with flatworms.. think this is a flatworm.

Alright i threw it out. Haven’t seen more. Does it irritate coral or eat them? And if so which ones?

I have HAD a wrasse so maybe it took care of the others. Unfortunately he jumped out last night while the lid was off and i didn’t notice so im in the process of getting another one…

It can smother coral in numbers and take away the zooxanthellae which is a fuel source for voral
Only wrasse that may eat them are yellow coris, lunare and melanurus

oh i see. the only coral ive lost is the gold torch not sure if they did it. started closing for a few days and its polyp started flying everywhere. my yellow might have been keeping the numbers down, unfortunately it jumped so ill have to watch for them while i qt another.
