montipora nudibranch

[mcsock]

I seem to have an infestation of montipora eating nudibranch. A previous post here ref. an article by Tracy Gray and using a dip made of Tetra Oomed. I can not seem to find the product forsale anyplace online in the States. Is there something else that could be used as a dip for the corals that would kill off these nudibranch, before they eat most of my montipora dominated tank?

I really can't help you on this one. Perhaps someone in Eric's forum can provide the information that you need.

Good luck! :D

I can no loner find that product, or any of the medicated tetra foods in the US. I have no suggestions for you, unfortunately. You could try the same Lugol's strength I am recommending in the red bug thread - its pretty strong, and it might do the trick. 5ml/liter for 5-10 minutes.

Eric,
How fast do these nudis move compared to a pod?

double

[EricHugo]

what kind of pod?

[shermlock]

I don't know one pod from the next so how about this: Are they the same speed as a zoa eating nudi or are they faster? I realize nobody has ever raced nudis (at least I don't think they have ) but could you tell the difference in speed between the two. Zoa nudis are pretty slow so they are easy to nab.

[EricHugo]

They are extremely slow moving.

Thank you Eric and I am sorry for the earlier confussion.
