What eats nudibranchs?
It seems that I have a nudibranch problem in my reef. Every few days I find another one on one on my toadstool leathers. So, the question is, is there a kind of fish that will eat these pests? I've already had the nudi identified as a pest from the Doc over at the Sea Slug Forum.
My current fish in the tank are 2 tomato clowns, a Juvi emperor angel, a purple tang and a royal gramma. All have been in there for almost a year with no problems. Thanks in advance!

Thanks a lot. I did a search on green sea wrasse but I didn't find anything on here. Does someone have a specific link? Or where I can get one? Thanks!!

It may all depend on the Nudibranch themselves. Some will incorporate the nematocysts from their food source, in their own defences.
I have an infestation of SPS munching buggers, and hae been told that yellow Coris Wrasses may help. In the end though picking the individual Nudi.'s off is your best defence. Even better if you get up late at night and do it as many are more active at night. Be vigilant and find them early so they don't lay eggs and start the whole thing over again. Another option is to do freshwater dips on EVERYTHING in the tank to get them off, leave no stone unturned.

Thanks SO much for the reply!!! I did a FW dip last night on the infected colony and was able to get another one off, but I think I'm going to look for one of those wrasse while I pick'em off in the mean time.
Thurge: Did you get one of those yellow coris? Did it work? I think I see them more often than the green wrasse. THANKS EVERYONE!!
