What do you think this is a nudibrance?

What is apa x. If you are refering to aiptisia x then that is for aiptisia, not nudies. I think you should try to dip the zoas. (Coral rx or Revive)

 

Haha ya I know but I was just talking about the possibility of then being a apista eatin nudibranch

 

Well what's my fate? I sucked these guys out with a turkey baster and I'm sure there lots more but I can't get down to the base of the zoeas they are very tight together....

 

Try to put an Aiptasia in there, see if they eat it, they still look like Aiptasia Eating Nudibranch to me. I'd still dip the Zoas, regardless of what the are.

 

You will want to get rid of them. See if you can use the baster to remove the eggs.

 

I have been intrigued by the use of Flatworm Exit to treat them. I have used the product for flatworms and was happy with it's results. A couple links for you to check out.

Mark Martin on Dealing with Zoanthid-Eating Nudibranchs

You may have to do multiple treatments, as the product does not kill the eggs.

 

Quite possibly be a Monitpora Eating Nudibranch. Reefmonkey was looking for pictures of them about a week ago for a project he had going on. You might want to PM him. If it is one, I'm sure Reefmonkey knows how to get rid of them and the eggs.

 

The thing with nudibranch is that they mostly stay close to their food. If found on the zoanthids or near them, and eggs are present it's a pretty safe bet that they are zoanthid eating nudibranchs, and the physical characteristics match as well.

If you had that many montipora eating nudibranchs present in a tank, you would sure see the results of their destruction quickly. From what I have been able to tell they are smaller in size as well.

 

Thank you....I'm still learning. :

 

what color are your zoas? my nudi came in on a zoa frag, and it was the exact same colors, purple with green/orange tips.
