Bcb577 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 So as a newer guy to the hobby people I talked to suggested that after I find a spot that a coral like to glue it to my live rock.the problem now is I never got into the practice of dipping my corals so now understandably I have some unwanted hitchhikers.I believe that I May have a nudibrach issue that's leading to my so as disappearing.so now I want to dip my corals in Bayer insecticide but not sure how to precede with the corals being attached,I've tried to break them off the rock but no luck.any suggestions on how I should go about this?I've lost almost 30 heads of zoas!

seabass Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I would probably treat the tank with Flatworm eXit: http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/282820-zoanthid-eating-nudibranchs-suck/ Link to comment
Clown79 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Are you sure its a nudibranch? It could be zoa pox(bayer dip won't work) It could be flatworms(flatworm exit needed) Dips don't work for everything. I dip all my corals and still got pox and flatworms in my 10g. The flatworms didn't respond to dip but did with freshwater dip. I would ensure you know what the cause is before doing anything. I epoxy everything and with a few hood jiggles everything comes loose. Link to comment
Balix Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I do bayer then revive. If I had the time, I would get a tiny quarantine tank with a HOB filter with a cheapo par light to observe for a month. Link to comment
