I discovered nudibranches eating my zoa colonies.
First instinct was to purchase a large Melanurus wrasse, but a week in and he still has shown no interest in the nudibranches or in any food yet. I am hoping this will change soon.
I removed all the large colonies and did a freshwater dip for 10 minutes. A lot of junk fell of the large colonies and they are now back in the tank and wide open.
I then decided to use flatworm exit immediately after on the tank, as I was worried some nudibranches were on the rocks. I dosed an entire bottle in a 55 gallon and the nudibranches did not dissolve like others have said. The ones I found seemingly stopped moving. I was expecting something more dramatic.
Corals had basically no reaction to the flatworm exit for anyone wondering. My product was 2 years from expiry date too, so I do not think it was old.
Anyway, how long would you advise I wait before repeating the flatworm exit treatment? I’ve read I need to repeat to catch the eggs. My hope is I can repeat once in 4 days and be done with it, but I do not have much info on the hatch time or the maturity time of these nudis. Any advice is appreciated!!
