Plan on doing that. unfortunatly my qt tank is full of montis from monti nudies, wanna clear those up first as they seem way more destructive,and harder to deal with. wrasse is more to catch any stragglers that are on the rock an sand after i remove the zoas to another tank.

exactly the wrasses help keep them in check after youve done the treatments.


what are you using to treat the montis with??


zoa eating nudis arnt hard to get rid of it just takes a few weeks of dips to be sure the eggs are gone

Actually thinking with the monti nidies, only 5 pieces. might be better off scrapping them and starting with new pieces in 6 months.

Still having to talk the wife out of a mystery wrasse after she seen yours Doug. lol. fuigred it was a good excuse to get a pretty, low cost wrasse. from what ive read they are good to great at eating any small morsels that move. if i have to loose my nem shrimp, so be it.
