I'm new to the hobby , started back in December and recently I noticed my zoa colony failed to open fully. Upon inspection I noticed a small army of Nudis. What would be the best plan of attack to combat them. I do have a Pyjama Wrasse but I don't think he's to interested .
Thanks

Welcome to R2R. I'd start dipping the colony and look for the eggs, no dip will kill the eggs so you might have to dip multiple times over the course of a few weeks. Some reefers use Bayer with great results. I've never used it so I can't help with dosing strength but there are a few threads on here.

Like above posts say, Dip colony and look for eggs. In the future maybe consider dipping and quarantine procedures ;)

If you dip bayer make sure you rinse the crap out of the corals. I knocked out every single pod in my tank one time using it. (killed all the nudies though)
