Hi all,
I just brought home a montipora digitata frag. I dipped in CoralRX for ten minutes and these were left over. Just curious, is this MEN, something else, nothing, or can’t tell?

(Pics are iphone/glass bowl over white paper)

Thanks!

I'm not very good with differentiating between species of Aeolid nudibranchs yet, but it looks like those might be Monti-eating Nudibranchs.

They appear to be Monti eating nudis. Inspect very carefully for eggs, the dip won’t kill them. If you find any remove them. Dip again in a few days and repeat a few times.

Thanks to you both. I have pulled and dipped a couple of more times. This is my only Montipora, so I will watch it closely. I appreciate the feedback!
