****For all those who got zoos from me,please read****
I have been getting lots of zoos in from all over and quarintine them all,including doing a fresh water dip for any zoo eating nudis(small,brown with lots of tiny frills ).I have spotted(and removed)2 adult nidibranches,that look like the zoo eaters.I'm in the process of treating all zoos with fresh water dip again of the next week.Looks like its only been on one small coloney,but can't chance it,have several hundred dollars in zoos
 If you have received any zoos from my tank,please take 10 minutes and do a fresh water dip!If any doubt as to what you are looking for,there are several zoo eating nudi posts on reef central,under the zoo forms.

Exactly!!not something you want when you have as many zoos as I do.I just dipped over have of the main tank of zoos and found nothing,but I will be dipping untill every colony and frag is dipped(100+ peices
)I haven't noticed any changes in the health of the zoos to indicate the nudis are killing them.Maybe I'll get lucky and they were only on the one coloney(which was new arrival). By the way,the fresh water dip works,the nudi drops off in seconds once esposed to fresh water(give it a real good swish around to loosen them off)I haven't found any egg sacks yet(tiny white eggs formed in a small circle)had to use a large magnifying glass to see them.

From my looking, I didnt see anything on any of the stuff I got. Also, from AI, one colony I got once had two on it, but I picked them off and never saw anymore eggs and have yet to see anything else so im pretty sure Jim's case is the same. It takes awhile for a couple nudis to get a large population going.

Nothing too hard,just using treated tap water.Make sure to get the water ph and temp around the same as the tank and just place the zoos in and leave for several minutes.Give them a good swish around before taking them out of the fresh water.
The zoos show no signs of ill effect,they will close up for a bit,but once back in the tank,they will open again.Lugios dip is highly effective in killing the little buggers,but I haven't got any.
