Curious because you have so many and I just found zoanthid eating nudibranches in my tank and they are going to be a huge pain to get out now. Really wish I had been dipping before adding to the tank  |
I have the same problem. At first I thought they were pretty (the Nudis), until I discovered that they were eating my zoas! The colonies that I could take out I did, and dipped them in hot fresh water for a few minutes. The zoas close up tight when you take them out of the water so I think that protects them. I have not lost one single zoa from doing this. I shake the rock every minute or so to shake them off and boy did they fall off! Tonnes of the little buggers, as well as zoa eating crabs. All new frags go through this process now. I have some Zoas that are on my live rock and for those I just check them every so often. They are obvious when they are on the zoas because the zoas close up, and nudis cruise over them. Easy to spot so I suck them up with a turkey baster. I like to think that I'm winning the battle because I'm pulling out fewer and fewer every few days.
