Zoa Eating Nudis- looking for other advice

[DracoKat]

Hi all,

I am still battling zoa-eating nudi's in my 75g tank.. been about 4 months now and I am getting tired of seeing them and my zoas unhappy.

I've dipped the zoas weekly (less now because I need to get more dip). using Revive and Coral RX (I can't get hold of Bayer in NY, apparently it's banned?). I am sure they're hiding elsewhere in my tank and it's impossible to dip every single piece of rock.
I've plucked what I can see few times a week- including the eggs when I see them.

I have:
Yellow Coris Wrasse
Leopard Wrasse
Red-Head Solon Wrasse

and they aren't doing their jobs. I am ready to try Flatworm Exit, but want to try another wrasse first.
Any suggestions which to try? Reef/Invert safe as well.

any other suggestions?

Please and thank you!

Can I add a second yellow coris?

Salifert's Flatworm Exit kills nudibranchs. Follow directions....I think 1 drop per gallon....and repeat after one week to kill any newly hatched eggs.

Thanks, I want to try natural way first without dosing the tank with flatworm.

any other suggestions?

How long do you dip for with rx? (never tried revive.)

 

[DracoKat]

About 5-10 minutes. I get some pests off this way

If you haven't had luck with the above two dips, try Malachite Green.....it also kills the eggs.

never heard of it.. looking it up now!! Thanks!

I would do 10 minutes minimum, nudis are tough. the zoas should be able to take it. Try dipping every three days or so, not once a week. This is the protocol we use to follow at the shops I have worked at.

thank you. I picked up some more RX, give it another shot more frequently
