Monti eating nudibranchs

Still got them. I just end up taking all my monti's out of the tank every month or so, and check them underneath and blast any eggs and nudi's with saltwater to get rid of them, and keep their numbers down.

They always seem to come back. I've tried freshwater dips (which monti's REALLY don't like), light copper dips, iodine dips.

The monthly removal seems to keep them from totally over running and killing the corals they are on however.

Lucky most monti's grow so quickly.

I got the smae problem with another small NUDI. except mine swarm my ZOOs. they dont seem to eat them, so Im not sure what they want, but they are a bitch to rid. I have to do the same. pull out the Zoos and dip for a little bit every couple of months. The problem is my Zoos are starting to spread onto the larger rocks... :-?

Would it be possible to syphon them out now while there are only a few?

If you see any egg masses but cannot get the coral out of the tank, perhaps they could be treated with a turkey baster with boiling water.

Wasp it is only a frag I broke the big coral up that I bought off reef out of his tank that they came on (how do I know this because I didn't have any Montis before I bought it)

So I was able to take it out and wash it.
