My sump is covered with them as well (which is good). I pick out them in my main if they start to spread. Be persistent with picking them out of your main and leave the ones in your sump. My .02

All too soon you will have a fish eat them all up and wish you had them back...

i dont see why people dislike these guys. they are completely harmless filter feeders (although their effect is probably minimal) and i dont think they're ugly at all. i actually like them. if they got onto my glass Id scrape them off, but other than that I leave em.

Default nudibranches

not meaning to hijack, but what was said about bergia nudibranches is fascinating! Does anyone sell them locally?

Hmmm... so I'm just being paranoid then. So long as no-one's had them colonize their stonies, I'll leave them be. I don't know how I'd go about removing them, short of a chisel, anyway.
Berghia?
I ordered mine online from the US... (www.saltyunderground.com) the downside of berghia is that aiptasia is the ONLY thing they'll eat. So when you run out, they'll die. I'm about to redistribute mine throughout the Calgary region... they've increased in number and finished off all visible aiptasia.

Speaking of going off track... How are your pods doing, Kevin? Mine have fully colonized the sump; the glass is teeming with the little critters. Very happy with the tigger pods. Cash well spent.
