What do I need??

[Adam Mac]

I have zoo eating nudibranchs in my tank and was wondering if anyone knew of any certain fish that will eat these pesty buggars!!?!?! Thanks

I've seen the following species of wrasse listed that MAY help erridicate pest nudibranchs in the aquarium:

yellow coris wrasse
christmas wrasse
radiant wrasse
leopard wrasse
Melanurus wrasse
six line wrasse

Of all the wrasses listed above, I'd suggest trying a yellow coris wrasse first since they are fairly inexpensive, colourful, and very docile towards other fish.

Best of luck getting rid of the nudis.

You can also try dipping the zoas....(Kent marine Lugol's solution..or any other dip that is iodine based)..about 4-5 drops per gal(use a white bucket) of fresh water(tap water..dechlorinated.. at same temp as tank water)..for about 5 mins...Shake the zoa colony after,,so hopefully the nudis fall off.You should see them in the bucket.Rinse in a container of tank water,,The zoas will be stressed..for a few days.

That sounds doable. I shall start the freshwater dips and maybe go grab some of this solution. I also read that hot hot water does it. Kills them fast. I read it on someone elses posts. He used like 125-150 degree water and just cooked the nudis off. lol so one of the 2 i shall try. Thank you both.

I would think the hot water would also kill the zoas....???
