    Yes. I'll keep a look-out for it.

    Now that it's out of the tank, what do I do? I have only noticed this one and have not seen any others at the same time.

    Should I just be on the lookout for more?

    What do I do with the nudibranch?

    Definitely is a nudibranch. Get rid of it as they don't survive long in out tanks even it it doesn't prey on coral. Take the monti out of the tank along with the rock it is mounted on and dip it in CoralRx or ReVive. You will need to repeat the dip every 5 days 3 or 4 times to be safe.

    If you wanna do a species only tank then give him a small tank with some zoas, other then that, i dont see why anyone would WANT one.

    Uh, no Coral RX or coral meds right now. Perhaps I should a that to my Christmas list...

    Does this munch on montis or zoas? I didn't actually see it on either, but it was near the monti. Dangit, the rock the monti is on is huge. The zoas are just on a frag disk on the sandbed.

    Keep track of your corals and if they start declining check them out thoroughly. It may not be a problem and be a hitchhiker that will do no harm. You can do iodine dips also if there is a problem. Tincture of iodine is quite cheap at a drug store compared to the other 2 remedies.
