HELP PLEASE! Monti Eating Nudis on New frags

[tnc112105]

Found MENs on frags that I bought today.

I contacted the vendor for a refund, but they were not helpful and made excuses.

Keep the frags and dip and risk it? Or throw $100 away.

It’s been such a terrible day so far and this is the icing on the cake. I don’t know what to do. This is my first experience with coral pests.

Can you quarantine the frags? Quickly remove the frags from your main tank so that they don’t infest your other corals. Do an iodine dip!
Good luck...
That sucks that you received the frags infested with nudibranchs and they weren’t even sympathetic

I wouldn't take the risk, I'd pitch them.
Also please tell us who the vendor is, so we can never do business with them.

Sorry for your day.

I'd toss it.

Agree with above.

They’re not in the main tank. I inspect everything, then dip.

I use to work in a pet shop. I encountered these nudi’s once in one of the tanks. I would inspect the corals and use tweezers to pick off the pests along with doing a dip. After a couple days, I had removed them all. They tend to be just large enough to see them pretty clearly and eradicate them. Also, try to keep the frags separate from your other corals if you can to reduce the likelihood of them spreading to other corals. I wouldn’t throw them away. Also, you could remove the frags from the plugs and affix them to new ones or pieces of live rock. This will also allow you to inspect each frag carefully to remove the nudi’s.

And AEFW on another one (different vendor). I’m batting 1000 today!!!!

toss it in the trash.

what vendor did you buy from?

 

[tnc112105]

I am so anal about pests that I examine everything with a 40X loupe. Then it gets dipped. Then it gets QT’d.

I’m going to feel like such a horrible person if I throw it away. I should feel fortunate for catching it now, but all I feel is sadness

Please advise which vendor so these pests don't proliferate through the R2R community. None of us needs that!

So sorry for your bad experience.
