[h=5]I need help getting rid of digitate hydroids (not colonial hydroids). My 29g biocube that is about 2.5 months old has many. This is my first saltwater tank.
I've tried boiling water in a syringe. That works but more are showing up and in spots I can't reach. I've read that lynx nudibranchs love them but can't find a place on the web that sells them. I've also heard of a product called Hydroxs (Hydroxs from FishNth). But have not been able to find any stories of people who used it, let alone successfully. I don't think panacur is an option since I have snails and coral. I did have a few colonial hydroids but was successful in removing them. But they could be in places I can't see.
There is so much conflicting info on the web.
I fear that they will get out of control and that I'll have to spend every day hunting and killing the ones I can reach. And who knows I might be making things worse.
Sorry for the long post but I'm loosing sleep over these horrible critters and thought maybe I could get some solid advice on what to do.
I feel like trying the lynx nudibranchs but I'm not even sure if they are available to purchase.
Thanks in advance for any help.[/h]
