ID on nudibranch

ChrisPrusha · 03-26-2007, 09:27 PM

This little green guy showed up when I got some new zoos. Any ideas on what he eats? Or is the answer right in front of me?

You can see him on the right side in the zoos with the yellow centers. My knowledge of nudis is very limited...any help is very much appreciated!

I'd get rid of it Chris from what I've read the nudi's will take on the color of what they are eating

Zoo eating nudi! BAD NEWS!

That is the infamous zoa-eating nudibranch. The identity is unknown, even experts have been unable to identify it from pictures. You definitely need to get rid of it and at the same time check your zoas very carefully for more animals & eggs. They lay their eggs directly on the zoas; the eggs are arranged in coiled ribbons.

Get rid of him!

If you have one, you probably have more. Might want to think about dipping your zoas. I've been going through this myself.

Thanks everyone!!

I will remove him after work today, and I will be vigilant about looking for others. I suspect I will be doing dips soon, too.

Thanks again for your help, everyone!!

Dang, pulled out two more tonight. Hopefully another FW dip will do the trick.
