SRC Member limsc Posted November 11, 2007 SRC Member Share Posted November 11, 2007 Hi All, I had been seeing these in my 2ft tank. Can help ID this? My guess is some type of sea slug or nudibranch Also is these harmful? I had zoos and mushrooms in my tanks beside fishes. Appreciate all help..Thanks.

blueheaven Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Probably came from your zoos I had a hard time fighting with these guys to keep their population in check Quote But if you tame me, we shall need each other.

SRC Member cdckjn Posted November 11, 2007 SRC Member Share Posted November 11, 2007 It is a nudibranch. Best next time when buying zoos - to soak the whole thing in plain fresh water for at least 15 min - all these pests will then fall off and you can throw them away. Then put the zooz into main tank.

Gouldian Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Thanks all. Ya saw them mostly over my zoos..Shit now it crawling everywhere.. Hi bro, Sad to know that "you have been infected"! Being small and having potential of storing palytoxins is enough to repel most predators. Most reefers will just have to siphon them out and remove the zoanthid colonies for dips. You can try iodine or freshwater dips, you will see tons of them scurrying out of the rocks.
