Nudi Problems

Salty · Mar 17, 2011

Hello All,

I have recently purchased some Zs and Ps from a LFS and I didn't pay much attention to it when I dipped my corals in before I place them in the tank but now I've noticed nudis having feast with my new corals. What can I do to get rid of them?

I need help please. I am having a hard time figuring out a solution and finding info. :cry:

Worked for me ==> Flatworm Exit doesed per directions. Repeat every three days to catch eggs.

I find that looking at your tank at night under just a few led's that you can spot them very very easy. And just use a turkey baster. Suck them out, and throw them out. Or if you have some time, give them a fresh water bath or a revive bath. Good luck

Agee with flatworm exit. Several fw or revive dips over weeks might get you lucky if feasible. Flatworm exit is reef safe and does job in my qt tank great. I use it in qt even if no visible nudis. Only downside is on a large system it could get pricey.

Flat Worm Exit at 4x time recommended dose works great.
I dosed my entire zoanthid tank.

So flatworm exit works the same on nudis? Good to know. Update this when you have dosed or tried something. Take care

I'm not sure how many zoa colony or frags you have in your tank but I took out my zoas and paly colonies and dip them in coral rx. I repeated it 3 more time and never saw them again. That's if you don't want to go the coral rx route.

I've used FWE at the extreme dosage recommended in the artical above 4 drops per 2 cups, I think and it killed them pretty quickly. sdsocal, you had success at one drop per gallon in your tank? FWE ain't cheap...

ive used a yellow coris wrasse which took care of all my pest problems before

depending on how many there are i just suggest what Drterro said, take a blue LED and look around ur rocks at night after lights have been off for a few hours u should definitely see them if they are in there because their neon spikes glow under the LED.. and use some tweezers to pick them off of ur zoanthids...
