Has anyone come up with a solution to zoa eating nudi's?

[fio1022]

I'm hoping someone has a solution other than breaking down tank.I've tried FWE,vacuuming,and removing one by one with a seasquirt feeding syringe.
I've also dipped a few in logol's but I can't dip everything, so tank will still have them.
Is there a treatment for the whole system?
I'm constantly looking for them and removing but its starting to get tiresome.

Looks like Mucho just started a thread with possible solutions. If you can't take the zoas out to dip them one of the nudi-hunting fish may be your best option.

Thanks.

I was infested by nudis, I've lost lots of zoa because of them. Really frustrating. One day I have added a flame angel. I was first thinking he was nipping at my zos and I realized he was eating nudis. How wonderful! Since then the flame angel became fatter and all nudys have disappeared. My zos are now spreading again.

Really satisfied of the flame angel.:rollface:

wrasses.... reefsafe coris wrasses, fairy's and flashers...

green coris wrasse will murder them. would not count on another angel fish eating them, thats seems extremely odd.

Get a yellow Coris Wrasse I just got one and it went to work the next day but was hunting the same day

[customanimalart]

haven't done the research on them yet, but are they small enough for 55g?

[lfduty]

You can put one in a 55g i have one in a 40g breeder

[customanimalart]

Cool. Thanks. I will definitely check out one of those. I will probably have to get my LFS to order one for me. :rollface:

[lfduty]

Show pic's when you get it in

[fio1022]

I'm tring to locate a green or yellow coris with no luck locally.The LFS ask me what size,juvenille or adult. I ask how big do they get .Two different places told me upwards to 18".
I'm I asking for the wrong Fish?
I was able to locate a rainbow and a lunar wrasse but don't think they're invert friendly.
I want the killer green or golden wrasse!!!

[customanimalart]

I was thinking about one of those (yellow coris)as well and did a google on it. They are apparently a tough fish to raise and sensitive shippers. All websites that I have seen say that they should be for the experienced hobbyist. I'm not quite there yet so I am looking for another type of wrasse.
Good luck if you find one.

Just My 2 cents.:)

[lfduty]

They dont know what theyr talking about the Yellow Coris Wrasse Max size in a aquarium is 5" and the Green Coris Wrasse max is 8" and that is all they will get

[lfduty]

customanimalart theyr not that bad. they are not eney more sensitive shippers than a 6-line or eney wrasse and they all say for a experienced hobbyist I got a yellow in my mom's tank and shr know zero about saltwater tank's she call's my all the time with a Q

[customanimalart]

well that's good then. Hope they can find one then. Don't get one on-line then because they are not guaranteed. At least from the websites i saw.
maybe if they find a good LFS they can order one for them.

[lfduty]

I wantyou to look at this link they will give you a 14dat guarante
and yes it tells you experienced hobbyist but haw are you to get the experins if you dont just get one and read about it and get to know it thats what i did.

reef safe?

Green Coris' are reef safe as far as they will not nip at corals, but will snack on a snail or hermit once in a while. Keep them well fed and they don't bother them as much.

Never seen a Yellow hurt anything coral wise
