Zoa Eating Nudis

[howze01]

The problem most likely didn't come from the rock but from eggs that the dip doesn't kill.We do the same thing and dip all new corals but we ended up with them too. Your best bet is to dip and quarantine new corals for a few weeks to make sure they don't have eggs. We are dosing Flatworm Exit now and it certainly kills the nudis. We didn't do a water change either but did add some carbon to filter out meds and any toxins from them dying.

This is seeming to become a bigger and bigger problem in the NY & NJ area. I think that a local supplier got them and is now spreading them around to some LFS'. I have stopped buying any Z's or P's from LFS' and have been sticking to buying from members on here and other sites. Even still, you should dip and QT them.

My bio load was high already so adding a fish was not an option. Also removing rocks was not an option because it would cause my whole rock structure to come down. I would def recommend exhausting all other routes before the FWE treatment. Now that I think about it I think some snails died off during the double dosage treatment.

Good Luck beating them!

If you think about it, lets say you buy it from a member here (who doesn't dip and bought it from a lfs), goes off and sells it to you. How satisfied are you that you just got nudi's from a member on here? Essentially the same thing as buying from a lfs, without the middleman. Good luck.

+1 I dip everything. I'm amazed at some of the stuff that has come off when i'm dipping for the nudis out of my own tank.

Once again thanks for all the help everyone!
