Did I say you were lying? I stated that I don't believe that one bit, cause I have used bayer with no real results. If my personal experiences with bayer constitutes you a liar then that is pretty far fetched imo. If you want I have 5-6 bottles of bayer I'll sell them to you since you love using it sooooo much. Just pm me lol!


I will take those 5-6 bottles off your hands on sent.

For months I was struggling to rid myself of these pests. I am a huge supporter of using Bayer but I just couldn't get the right dosage to truly kill Nudis. When I read your dosage on Rx Pro, I thought what else do I have to lose at this point. So I went out and bought some Coral Rx Pro and followed the dosage of 3x the amount and 2x the dip time. Sure enough, I saw Nudi's floating like crazy and appeared to be lifeless. I took it one step further and caught some floating nudis and put them in a fresh tupperware cup of SW and monitored the remains for any movement. After an hr or so, there was still no movement. I waited about 3 days before dosing again and I couldn't find any remains of any nudis in my tank. I just waited another 5 days and did my 3rd dip and still nothing. I'm going to wait another 5-7 days and do my last dip before observation for 2 weeks before I break QT. So far this dosage is extremely promising. I will say that my corals due get agitated but I think this is compounded by their already weakened state by the nudis.

Glad I could help my friend and it worked in your case as well.

This receipe works well and even works to get DT's free of Monti nudis by using the attraction method.

Means in case you have this pest in the tank, take the Montis all out so far and only keep one in the DT. That one becomes the attractor and will need to be able to be taken out occasionally, like in a big bucket or so with the rocks its growing on.

You do this dip and put the coral back in the display and repeat this weekly.
Done with many friends tanks and after a month the tanks were pest free.
That avoids this 6 months Monti free tank to starve out these suckers.

A Melanarus Wrasse also helps in many cases (not all) to prevent the nudis going out of control ;-)
