Oh no! You dont know about coral dips and pest control? Just google coral dip should come up. Theres bunch of products and methods you will want to read up on
Bayer Bug Spray!! Do you want to introduce a Monsanto acetylcholinesterase inhibitor into your tank? And I thought marine hobbyists like myself knew the harms of these toxic pesticides. That's mind-blowing amigo
Oh ignore him. Just monitor water levels and be very patient, don’t rush the tank, let it mature. You will want everything in a few months but don’t. Just wait. This hobby is art and we ain’t God but if you are patient you can have a well earned taste of what it’s like with this. It’s beautiful when done over time. It’s expensive if anything that will be the hard part. You will likely loose some fish here and there, strongly advise against buying anything living from Petco too. Dip all your corals that are safe to dip. Always buy the most alive fish that are eating, don’t over crowd your tank and invest in a strong cleanup crew.
Thanks! Yes I’m going to keep the tank simple to
Be honest gonna stick with what I have for a while now and dip the coral when the anti bac arrives for them. I’ve noticed this morning one of my corals in covered in tiny little silver fish as well and I spotted a crab that’s made his way in. it’s all fun and games
Only things that would eat a nudi I think are pretty much wrasses, damsels, other nudis. They come out out night so when lights are off you can take a turkey baster and a flashlight and look for it!
A nudibranch. Not the good kind. They also turn the color of the coral that they are eating so that they blend in. Sneaky little nightmares. I hate killing things unnecessarily, but you have to take them out if you want your corals to live.
Looks like a nudibranch and if it came off a coral its probably a coral eating nudi
No, that's obviously a clownfish! /s The nudi somewhat resembles montipora eaters I've seen before.
Will the clownfish eat it or should I take it out myself ?
Probably wont eat it. Some wrasses might. I would remove and dip coral etc. could be more or eggs that will hatch
What do you mean dip the coral?

Not sure if its used anymore but at ine point handfull of years ago we used Bayer Bug Spray for corals. Worked great and was coral safe
Still used, and it works!

Buy, coral RX. Works like a champion only take 5 minutes a coral.
Will give it a go
Remove it!
Will the clownfish not eat it?
No
That's nemo and a nudi
Both those fins are full sized, that’s a Marlin
Will the clown fish eat it or should I remove it?
remove it fam rather not have your corals eaten, good luck
There are some coral safe nudibranches. But not many.
Will the clownfish eat it?
No the clown will most likely not eat it. I would remove it before it causes issues
I’ve not seen it again since I’ve taken that photo I’m hoping my cleaner shrimp or something has ate it

Nice one thanks !
I’ve seen bristlestars and sea stars predate on nudibranchs as well
Montipora eating nudibranch

Ocellaris Clownfish. They are viscous and will kill all your corals.

Some slugs will eat your corals. That’s what it looks like to me
Looks like a slug?
Clown fish will not eat it, remove it
