http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/marioliv - This is as close as I can find. Turns out there's the added bonus of eating encrusting gorgs too! <3

I have it with a host of different corals including Zoas, several LPS, a sunset monti, etc. It only comes out at night and I only see it munching on the patch of blue polyps. The thing is that it eats SLOOOWWWWWWWWW. It would be a simple matter of catching and removing it should it become a nuisance. The nice thing about slugs is that they tend to focus on a VERY narrow selection of dietary prey species (think monti eating nudies or aiptasia eating berghia) which allows us to employ them for very specific tasks.

Man I'm so pi**ed. I came back from my final 2 weeks of work in the praries to see the polyps starting to pop up in my tank again. I followed everyones dosing reccomendations. They were all gone when I left. What a disappointment to come home to. And my tank is looking so good right now too. Actually was starting to collect more zoas and palys again. I want to rip my tank down now.:sad:
