Montipora Eating Nudibrach & Eggs - Photo

[princer7]

I found these buggers on a frag of my purple digi today :at_wits_end: I'm dipping in Lugol's right now. Thought I would share the photo for posterity. I'm going to be setting up a QT soon.

that sucks, let us know how it goes. ive heard its hard to get rid of them

Sorry to hear about that, Jennifer. I had to search for the eggs but eventually found them. Will you hand-pick them off?

[princer7]

Yes. I had to hand pick them off. I tried shaking the coral vigorously in the water and they still did not come loose. I just finished the dip on my purple digi colony. Any idea how long these can survive in a tank without montipora? I picked up a 20 gallon tank for QT and am thinking of pulling all the monti I have in the big tank.
