    OK, thanks for the advice 2in10. I'll check out the Tincture of iodine.

    You will use 15 to 20 drops per quart of tank water and dip for 10 minutes. Look for nudis among the coral and underneath it. Remove any found with tweezers. Rinse in another quart of tank water. Dispose of any dip water.

    Found 2 more, caught one of them with a turkey baster.

    I picked up the motni and did not find any on it or next to it. The one I caught just now was on the same rock though. The other I saw was on a pump; it got away.

    I haven't picked up the zoas to check yet.

    Is there anything I can get (livestock) that will eat these (in the tank)?

    Holy poop, those eggs are small. :( :eek:

    Thanks for the link.

    Hmm..I like my bristle worms. Wouldn't an arrow crab try to go after snails too, or not?

    That they are, the nudi's are also very small, the water droplets have the nudi's in them, hopefully they arent monti eating ones, but you never know, there are several different kinds of them that can cause the problems just for montipora
