I have a Spongedies Montie that I noticed some tissue loss. After very close inspection I founds some Nudies. I was able to suck out the ones I could see and a few more with a turkey baster. Also when I blew out the colony 2 or 3 more were dislodged and were promptly ate by the blue streak cleaner wrasse. Question is how do I treat being that the coral is a colony and encrusted over several rocks? I only have 2 other monties in the tank as the rest are Acroporas. Is there another animal or something that will take these guys out?
 
If they dislodge just keep basting if you only have three. Especially if fish are already eating them from the water coloumn. I have found you can get most fish to eat them if you introduce food everytime you baste the coral.
 
Thank You I also did some searches and going through some other posts. If I could remove the coral I would but that is not an option with out destroying the whole thing. looks like supper glueing the infected area tonight when I get home from work after another good basting.
