Is this a zoa-eating nudi?

[KonradTO]

Hi all,
I found my zoas closed and this bug between them. Do you think is a zoa nudibranc? Its about 2mm size

I dipped the zoas with the fauna marin dip (the dip) before placing in the tank.
What's the course of action in such cases? Do I need to dip all zoas or only the affected ones? I already glued them to the rock using the epoxy so I should take yhe whole rock out?

i would confidently say this is a ZEN! best course of action? get a wrasse. second best course of action? daily/bi-daily dips.

unfortunately yes... will be very difficult to get rid because no dip kills his eggs

dang. Will they die if no zoas are present in the tank for some time?
I could relocate the zoa rock /frags somewhere else (for now I only have 3).

they should die if no food is present, but if the eggs are on the zoa's it wont help you as they'll hatch and eat the zoa's.

I have a sixline wrasse in the tank. Apparently not too much interested in those...

So for now I only have 3 frags of cheap zoas. I can move them to my smaller tank if they are specialists and will not attack other corals

they should not go after other corals, but my assumption is that they can lay eggs on anything, really.

Well I will dip them constantly. I just want to be sure to be pest-free before starting to get more of those.
So I suppose that there is no way to avoid introducing them to my main tank, if dips do not work..
