Nudibranch

I was thinking nudibranch also, and would guess you have some zoanthids or palythoas.

 

[ROLLINS]

Thank you. I have read up on a dip using lugol's iodine from MUCHO REEF on RC.

My question is after I preform this dip/shake/inspect for eggs, do I have to leave my main tank dormant for these little buggers to die out? I do have another qt tank that I can place my zoo's in for a while. Do they only affect Zoos/Palys or our some of my other corals in danger?

Is that the Nudibranch that is so much sought after for aptasia control? Looks like the ones I bought but its not white. That sucker could be worth some $$$$

 

[returnofsid]

Tieg, I don't think so. In fact, I'd guess that's a bad nudibranch.

Looks like the zoa eating nudi. Not the apt one's.

 

[loohunter]

that thing looks huge. the ones on my zoa's were tiny

 

[ROLLINS]

They are pretty big. I sucked about 8 more up after I found the first one. I have not seen any since and it has been about 3 weeks. Hopefully that did the trick. I thought it was pretty cool that they change color to match the zoos they are eating. Regardless, I will be dipping everything from here on out.

Kinda looks like this guy. But looks to be bad on all accounts.
