![]() They're small, blend to the color of the Zoa and lay many many eggs....this is NOT my picture...and I didn't see a copyright on it...just the photographers logo...so hope I haven't done anything wrong?

![]() OMG I just found one>
I was just looking at the zoa cluster below my one thats going out and noticed and bright orangy thing in it. Sure enough its a nudi. I got it off and cant see any others ...for now. What do I look for as in eggs and how do I eradicate them? Last edited by Ryan_Lap; 11-15-2008 at 08:43 PM. |

![]() You're going to have to either quarantine all your zoas and treat them or remove them all to dip them to kill the adult nudis and scrape off the egg clusters. You'll then have to repeat this process to be sure you've removed all the missed nudis and any missed eggs.
Here's a link showing pics of different nudis and what their eggs look like: http://images.google.ca/images?q=zoa...=1&sa=N&tab=wi Then look here for more info on treatment and prevention: http://reefcentral.com/forums/forumd...hp?forumid=184

![]() haaarrrsh. Well I would do exactly what Canadian suggested if i were you. There are also a few wrasses out there that eat zoa eating nudis. For the record, nudibranchs are very very specific predators so I wouldn't be surprised if the nudis are showing preference of one colour of zoos to the other; they'll probably move on to the others once they finish their favourite colony though.
