    eddie, that is the way I have been doing it. Better to think of the nudibranchs as a control method, you can never really get rid of them, but if you get the problem under control with the juice (the big ones the nudi's dont go after) and then let the nudies eat everything else, you probably won't see anymore.

    Take the rock out of your tank and let it sit in the sun for about a month. This method is guaranteed!

    Seriously...
    Nudibranch, peppermint shrimp, copperband butterfly all work.

    Copperband has worked wonders for me in the past but I have had little luck keeping the fish alive for more than about 6 weeks.

    Raising your calcium level can help control aptasia. Changes in water quality always upset anemones.

    Hmmm...But zoas are for all practical purposes a colonial anemone, and since we started dripping kalk at night (about two weeks ago) *everything* in the tank is growing better...including the zoos. I'm amazed at how "perky" they look. So...???
