Angry monti eating nudibranch

I heard from an expert that I have an infestation of a montipora eating nudibranch
I had noticed them before but thought not much of it.
I have eradicated a flat worms infestation before so I thought I could get rid of these in the same way.
They concentrate on one small piece of a big monti colony and the damage has been restricted to that area. I syphon them off every week and it looks as if the coral recuperates very quickly.

Here's what it looks like but then a lot smaller.





Does anybody have experience in battling these critters ?

Incredible system.

I recently had a nudibranch outbreak in my zoanthids. i started with 2 and i ended up killing over 80. i did a fresh water dip. i don't know if you can do that to sps or not.

Hi Kannin, thank you.

Fresh water dip is possible with SPS but the colony they are on is to large for my bucket I have choosen to go for the manual removal and wrasse/coral banded shrimp option.

i like the way you used the cellar for all of the equipment, that makes it a lot easier to do maintenance. do you use the big 500 liter tanks to increase the watervolume or is it just storage of ro/di water?

hele mooie bak!!

Dank je !

The two tanks of 500 liter are part of the system. I need the extra volume to support the heavy fish population.
I have a 100 liter container for RO water ( with top off system )
and 200 liter container for water changes.

yeah even if they started as colonies, it seems clear that there has been incredible growth.

Do you have any progression shots?
