Zoa Nudibranch

renato120 · Jun 25, 2015

Hello!
Im having some issues with zoa nudis.
I already took a least 15 out.
Is that anything that will eat them?
Will a yellow coris wrasse eat them?
Thank you.

Are you able to dip the colonies? Bayer or coral rx dip should get rid of them. I believe a 6-line wrasse will ( I would not recommend). Maybe a yellow coris will too. Any wrasse keepers know?

I do dip all my corals. I use rx dip. I have a leopard wrasse. He does not eat them.

Just keep removing them one by one. I know it can be a little tedious, but persistence can pay off in the long run. This is how I got rid of mine.. Dipping the coral or adding a wrasse was out of the question in my case. GL.

I'm guessing the reason why the dip did not work is there were eggs. They may not die from dips. I always QT my corals for that reason. Are you able to remove the colonies to dip again? If not like cloak said keep removing them manually unless someone else can chime in with something to eat them.

I use Flat Worm Exit for dipping zoanthids. It absolutely destroys the nudibranchs, at 4-5 times the recommended dosage.
I've even used it as a whole tank treatment before.
It's pretty hard on inverts, but it didn't seem to affect any corals I had in the tank.
