Nudi ID

[G Santana]

I've seen this guy around my tank on the glass but never really had a shot at pulling him out, just now he was on my zoa rock and they were closed water tight.
I don't know if he was eating them or just out for a stroll but I was able to syphon him out without much trouble.
The syphon was hard on him as he's now looks like Sonic the Hedgehog missing a few bristles.
Any ideas?
Thanks-

It looks like the zoa eating kind. did it have another color other than brown? zoa eating nudis will take the color of the zoas they are eating

I recall seeing it earlier and it had more green to it, it was currently on a rust colored zoa hence the color I guess

Yup if it was on a zoa i am pretty confident that is a zoa nudi. As mentioned there colors can change but that looks to be the body...again missing some "spikes".

I have seen mixed reviews recently from someone saying it did not work, but flatworm exit always worked at killing zoa nudis for me(it been several years). Like most things it wont kill eggs though and requires multiple treatments.

Besides being zoa eating, eggs are just as risky. They are very tiny. Looks closely daily for 2 weeks to assure there arent any.

Curious if you went the Flatworm Exit route and if that seemed to work?
