nocking on wood, never had anything major so far, however I remember a year ore so ago that I read op on all kinds of pest in a tank, and wrote some symptoms down, gust so I have some reference in case of something, same thing with symptoms of certain additives and low and high KH and so.
anyhow, I have it all in my map in my fish room, and as far as I can read back, the buggers you mention are hard to get rid off because there eggs hatch each 3 to 4 days. Salifert flatworm exit seems to help (adding it each 4 days for 2 weeks) other thing I read, is Potassium permanganate. the potassium permanganate is not a proven remedy, however by many dun with success. I read the drugstore and ore pool outfits have it, where the drugstore might be your best bet, as you only need a few m. grams it is mentioned that it will nuke all and everything so be careful with this one. do some google to read up on it, I don't have time to lock into it all again now, but this is what I wrote down.

Growth hasn't slowed as far as I can tell. In fact my tank has without a doubt ever looked better. There are just some dead areas around the rim of my confusa (which has been encrusting a bit too much for my liking actually lol) and a few newer areas of concern on some others. I continue to scrape and maim them with a skewer whenever I spot one.
Doug if you remember, please shoot me a pm if you guys land any suitable wrasses thanks. I do have a leopard wrasse but I'm not sure he hunts anything besides pods.

It's been a few months since I got my melanarus to deal with these nudibranches. all my montis recovered nicely with both the leopard and now the melanarus hunting all day. Certain edges of my confusa recently looked receded and I assumed the corals this coral was encroaching upon were fighting back.
I haven't done any night viewing in ages but last night I shone my phone in there and voila they are still there but not in plague proportions. the fish clearly keep the issue in-check but the nudibranches are considerably more active at night when the wrasses are sleeping.

Every last monti I have is growing like a weed (including the confusa) but because the confusa plates out they have ideal shelter from the fish.
I see no bites or problem areas on any other monti. I will do some night-basting though. They're definitely not visible during the day.

I had these twice - what worked for me was to dip the affected corals very day for 2 weeks in tropic marin pro coral cure. It's a bitch, but after 2 weeks of dipping and scraping away all adults/eggs, you can reduce it to every 3 days for another 2 weeks. Took care of the problem for me.
You'll definitely want to get rid of them before you migrate to your big tank. Also, I only had a problem with my plating montis - not with digis, but not sure of other montis as I only had 3 digis and 2 plating montis.

I have 3 branching, the confusa and 2 caps.
My caps never showed signs but the branching ones did. They're looking pristine right now. the confusa is on a rock with corals i was considering removing and re-mounting. I was thinking of not bringing the confusa over as it really grows too fast into the other sps. thanks for the info tho. not sure i could dig an entire rock that size for weeks but we'll see.
