Have been looking closely at my green polyp for a few days now as a few heads seem to have suffered, on closer inspection today I have seen a few nudibranch in there which are obviously not doing it any good, anyone know of a way to get rid of the little blighters, only suggestion I have had so far is invest in a wrass which may eat them? not sure if that will work tho, any advice would be appreciated before it completely dies!
cheers all |

Remove the rock, dip in flatworm exit, rinse twice with saltwater, and place back in the tank. Do this daily for 5 days and cross your fingers you get all of them, even the eggs

Agree with that - if you can't get flatworm exit just use straight RO water, but match the temperature to your tank. Make sure you hold the polys/LR upside down for a few seconds in the plunge bath, even shake it gently, so the little buggers can 'fall' out. |
