nudibranch, hopefully not a zoa eating one or something else u care about

 

[Tethered_Limbs]

can u get a pic of other side?

 

[helitaiwan963]

yea, that's definately a nudibranch. Just kill it for good measure. What are the chances that it's a good one that eats aptasias...

 

[bennyblanco]

It's all feathered looking on the back. Should I pluck it?

 

[Tethered_Limbs]

very small, but if u can capture it with a turkey baster........ get a ID

 

[Tethered_Limbs]

try not to kill it so u can ID it, cuz there are prolly more

Well considering that there are two aptasias that I need to nuke i doubt it!

I can suck it out no problem. I think I have a little jar that I can keep it in.

Kill it! FW dip works great with znps in case there are any adults, but the eggs are tough to kill; easy to spot though, like a ring of eggs.

 

[superslinky911]

Def good chances there are more looks like a baby, keep a good eye out

Looks like an adult zoo eating nudi
Look for eggs and other adults in thick zoo colonys at night with flash light
Eggs will be white circle rings on underside of zoos
If your tank was bigger would get a melinaris wrase and or a Formosa wrase and get rid of what ever ones you can find.
If there is one there is more and they breed extremely fast. With a tank that small you should be able to solve the problem but in a big tank it's a nightmare.

 

[bennyblanco]

Awesome! I'll the lights off and see what I can find. I haven't found any eggs yet. I'll turn the lights off and see what I can find!

Def a Zoa Nudibranch.

 

[Tethered_Limbs]

i want em!

 

[bennyblanco]

So what is the best way of getting rid of them?

 

[Smitty]

It looks like a berghia nudibranch...they eat aiptasia.

 

[Tethered_Limbs]

capturing

 

[madjoe]

Looks like a monti eating nudi buthey all look the same to me

Honestly confirm you have an infestation with the flashlight thing first .
You can also dip some thick zoos or one that look irritated in a warm glass of freah water and shake them in it and see what comes out besides pods.
