    I have them! Grrrr!

    Well i have found one on my Superman monti, for such a little guy he did a lot of damage! Not quite to sure where the hell he came from cos i've had the coral a couple of weeks now....
    Well i can also see the eggs too. There in accessible.

    The coral is currently sitting in a strong iodine soloution, and im going to place it in my skimmer. I dont have fuge and i dont want the coral in the main display. (ive inspected the other montis and i cant see any pests!)

    How long should i wait before i do the 2nd dip. Im not to sure how long the eggs take to hatch!

    two weeks hatch time if I am remembering correctly.

    I had a few of these buggers go through my montis quickly. I am going to get a wrasse that eats them before getting any more montis.
