so, i just turned on the lights tonight after three days to help with algea...it worked like a charm...my tank looks brand new... anyway, so im looking around and i see a big fat nudibranch on my glass...fantastic... the only zoos i have in my tank i thought person who sold them to me had QT first. So, im getting more zoos next week, so should i go ahead and isolate all of my zoos and dip them all? what are the chances that there was only the one nudibranch and there are no eggs? also, how long can they survive in a tank without a host?

There are lots of different type of nudibranches, with different appetites, so it depends on what you have.

Only some. Look on zoaid to see if it is the same that you have.

My montipora corals have been slowly wiped out by monti-eating nudis over the past two months. My zoas have never looked better.

i think he pretty much looked like this guy...he was pretty big too...larger than a zoanthid polyp....
