I have a small nudi problem in my 125 (not in the 175 though), zoa eating nudi. So far I have tried the following with some success:
1. fresh water dips - did this for 3 weeks and qt'd the zoas. Put them back, and still had a few.
2. Flat worm exit - this is very recent. Did it for 3 dips 6 days apart to get the hatched eggs. Just put them back. I do not see any of those little buggers, but....
3. I recently put in yellow coris wrasse. The first 2 just jumped out and well you can figure out the rest. So I decided to try to add 4 at a time and see what happens. Well, so far 3 have decide to come out of the sand after about a week. It is my understanding that they are the best at hunting nudies. They are a beautiful fish and I am very pleased to say that my mystery wrasse is leaving them alone. They are not going to the top of the tank and seem to be hunting 'bugs' or some kind. I put all the zoas back into the tank and they are slowly opening back up after their flat worm dosing.
Now, any other ideas? I really want to propagate zoas, but I want to make sure they don't carry bugs before offering them to others. I am really hoping that the coris wrasses will do their job. Here is a couple of pics with them doing their job.
Ok Lynn, let's see if I can post these pics
