And yes, in the second picture you will see a very large, hideous anemone...a "harmless" Aiptasia anemone. I am going to try to get ahold of a berghia nudibranch, then once it is done munching on the junk, I'll pass it on to someone else.

Don't bother with a nudi. Not worth waiting, and then selling it...

A thin, kalk paste shot thru a syringe, right into the mouth of the beast will kill it 4 out of 5 times. i use equal volumes, 1 tspn of water and dry kalk, shake it up.
I have gotton a few syringes from Centracare in St. C in the past.

I do the same thing, with about a TBS of kalk in a tiny amount of RO. Just enough so the kalk is no longer powder. Then I like to use an old "skinny" syringe from any of the Salifert titration kits (Alk, Ca, Mg) to shoot them. 1mL is all it takes. I have pretty much the same success rate as Joe.

Nudis often only get lost in pump intakes and overflows...

I prefer the needle because its length makes disturbing the aiptasia with a shadow less likely.
