    So I know I have a nudibranch-my question is this one bad?

    I have never seen these "red" before so I was not sure if maybe there are good and bad ones.:confused:

    I have probablly syringed-"eye dropper" ( I have about a 34" eye dropper that I had made for target feeding;D) about 25-30 of these out of my tank today, I am always finding them around my zoos-so if a zoo isnt open, good chance I will find this sucker.

    Anyone know of something I can add to the tank that will eat/kill them so I dont have to???

    Thanks

    Definitely a zoa eating nudi. No idea if there is anything to get rid of them beyond manual removal. Mine developed a taste for my Colt.

    Actually for every closed up zoo I had, I looked close and they were there. I knew that is what they were but I had not seen the bright red ones before.

    I'm done for the night but I would bet I can dig a few more up.

    That is the cause for your zoos not opening-look close, youll find them and then-its the Turkey Baster to the rescue.

    My yard is littered with Nudis
