    Looks like a zoanthid eating nudi to me.

    I've seen ones just like that on an infected colony.

    Well as you all know I have been battling these wonderful zoa eating nudibranches. I recently got a yellow coris wrasse and has helped but has not gotten them all if that's even possible. Is there another fish that would get along with the coris and eat the little buggers too? It just needs to be coral friendly or as friendly as it can get... Or should I just break down and start dip doseing the coral?

    Thanks all!
    Cole

    I'd have to say they are zoa eating nudi's as well. Berghia (aip eaters) would colonize a rock before a bunch of zoo's. Someone, 2in10? already said they stay close to their food source.

    Definitely not monti eating nudis..
