[The day before yesterday I was looking in my tank and what do I see? A nudibranch crawling on my front glass! I was all excited at first until I remembered that there are nudibranches out there that feed on zoos. So I look up "zoo eating nudibranches" and found a picture of the little suckers, and guess what? It was the exact same one that was crawling on my glass. So I promptly removed him and thought nothing of it.

Well then, yesterday I'm staring in my tank and guess what? Yup, there was another one! I searched the web and found this thread on ReefCentral:

PUSH ME

I did everything it told me. Out of the 3 zoo rocks I had, I found 4 nudibranches and NO eggs. So I am convinced that there are no more. But when I think of what could've happened, I dont want it to happen to anyone else. So I wanted to share my experience and warn anyone out there about the killer nudis.]
 
[This dip works great and I highly highly reccommend it for all incoming zos and it works great if you suspect any problem with existing ones! It has saved many a zo for me!]
 
[Did you take any pictures of these nudibranchs?]
 
[Here's the link just scroll down and you will see a couple of picks, the one I found was the orangish brown one in the second picture.

Pics of Nudis

and here is the link to the original pic I found before I scoured Reefcentral for help, Just scroll down you'll see it:

And I didn't take any pics since I dont have a digital camera, cept on my cell phone and lets just say I didnt want the thread being bomarded by requests for a clearer picture. :p]
