    Default Any Idea what it may be?

    I found some small nudi looking slugs on my coral and they were eating the tissue the bottom part of my frag is gone but I got them all off. I dont have a camera so no pics but I found a link, they looked something like the link but they were all white and frilly. Has anyone ever had something like this or can I.D. I know its a shot in the dark but I did get this frag from a local LFS so check and dip your corals before you add them to your tanks. http://www.seaslugforum.net/factsheet.cfm?base=fionpinn Thanks Barry

    Looks like you got 'em! MikeyBoy had these at one time - they really attack digitata, maybe porties too. I don't think anyone has identified a cure such as Interceptor for RedBugs. I know Mike removed all his Digi's at one time and did a vigorous iodine dip & physical (tweezers) removal.

    I'm pretty sure a search on RC will give you some hits?

    Maybe Todd has something to offer on this one?

    Mikeyboy used freshwater dips to kill them and from what I can tell it works pretty well.

    I Have those in my tank too!! They mulitply like crazy, and eat my zoos. So far i've just been picking them out by hand and doing freshwater dips to get them off the zoos. It would be great to find someway to get rid of them.

    Prazi Pro from Hikari might be worth trying.

    http://www.uskoi.com/prazipro.htm

    Its a general fluke and flatworm treatment. It may be chemically similar to Flatworm Exit but a lot less expensive. It would be worth a try to see if it works as a dip treatment product or as a general tank treatment. I'm not sure who carries it locally, but I do know that CB pets does. If someone does try it, please report back.

    They look identical to the zooanthid eating nudibranchs that come out of soloman to me.
