Can I give the leather a FW dip? attached to a monti!!

David Mohr comfirmed my fears in the hitchhiker forum earlier. I thought I had three Softy eating nudis on my leather. It turns out there are more very small ones than I can count. This leather happens to be in my softy tank and I dont want a full blown plague. I cant siphon all of them out.

Yep, you can dip them. The Nudis and/or flatworms usually will pop right off in the dip. A little lugol's iodine mixed into the bath can make it more effective and it is safe with soft corals IME.

Thanks for the confirm on not killing it. I tried a little iodine on the few I siphoned and it seemed ineffective The FW killed them in a few seconds. It surely wont hurt the coral to give it some iodine though.

I agree with Len.

I guess I left out the part that it is arttached to a monti sp. Leslie gave me alink to a thread at RC that show it as being a monti eating nudi. I could always let nature run its course if I have to.
