@Borat FYSA OP did post a very clear pic of a Nudi in his zoa. And baby and juvi phase Zoa eating Nudi are very small indeed.
Your eyes are sharper than mine.. I may see some pods/bugs (maybe) but it's not obvious to me that there are nudibranch on zoas.. My zoa are always full of all kinds of pods (no nudies) - they live happily amongst zoas with no predation from wrasse...

In my limited experience - people do a dip and then show content in a petri dish under magnification..

@Borat I don't think I necessarily would have recognized it if I hadn't seen them in real life

I saw that and the other one just above it but it was a little hard to tell. I took these pictures of a frag I bought where I could see the Nudi while I was still floating the bag. Good example of how they absorb the colors of whichever zoas they’re eating! I dipped it and got all the nudis and their eggs off and then put it on a frag rack to keep it separate. Looks great now!
