Pesty white------Montipora eating nudibranches

[MikeyBoy]

I am about 99% certain that I have some of these and they eating my Montis, one by one........both Digitata and Caps

What will eat them?

6line wrass maybe?

they are very small and white I believe.

thanks for the help.

Can you post a really good clear macro shot of the nudis ... oops, I forgot this was MikeyBoy :lol ;)

I'm watching this one - haven't heard any cures for these guys?

Golden Semilarvatus Butterflies are supposed to eat them. They are a lower risk butterfly as far as eating corals but I wouldn't call them reef safe though. IF you try one let us know. No matter what happens you'd at least have a VERY cool butterfly.

[MikeyBoy]

can you get one?

well this thread answers my question.
I did a freshwater dip on one of the affected Digitatas and these little buggers went flying.........I definately have them.
I will be looking for a place to keep all my montis after fresh water dips.

If you are sure they are "clean" I have frag tanks that could hold whatever is needed - Lit with a 175W 10K MH & VHO Actinics, so they would be happy

No charge .. except for all those "small" pieces that break off when I put them in the frag tank :innocent

The Montis are cleaning up fine...........the nudis fall right off after a dip.
They say unless you gid rid of ALL montis for 90 days, they wont be gone for sure.uggggggggggggggg
not sure what I am going to do at this point.
