Yup those are nudibranch some eat aptasia also but yea you never know what they want to eat.
I'm pretty sure they were all eating the kenya tree that was on that rock and I caught it just in time for when they were finishing up...Wow - you have a whole nudi-family on your hands. You never saw them before? I guess it's great if you have aiptasia and they eradicate that but it makes you wonder where they were hiding before?
Got stupid lucky cos I've been looking for the past couple of days day and night and I haven't seen anymore so far and hopefully they don't lay eggs or something cos I've got a loads more kenya trees/ leather corals
Man.. I spoke too soon
Any idea on how to get rid of them in the reef? I was sick for over 2 and a half weeks and got a bunch of corals about 3 weeks before hand so these things have been going wild for over 5 weeks so I'm sure there's a bunch of them. I pulled out 6 so far and I've noticed 2 holes in my large leather coral I pulled it out and soaked it in hydrogen peroxide for about 5 seconds it was at the "body" of the leather so the stalk I guess I have used hydrogen peroxide a couple times on leathers to get rid of algae to clean it up and no issues.. any ideas you have that could help me kill these would be massively appreciated
Coral dips over the span of days to weeks on all the affected corals may be the best option here. Manually remove as many as possible. Some wrasses help with nudi control.
probably not
I hope its enough for me. I mean these things do look cool. I just wish they ate hair algea or something at least I got one good thing going on I got my nutrients in check and the hair algea is coming off in big chucks when I pull on itprobably not
But you've got us on R2R to help you get through it! I've had some nudis before but luckily manual removal was enough.
