    Wow that's exactly what is on them. I pulled the nudibranch off but there still like 4 or 5 of its eggs...

    With a soft old tooth brush, that gets thrown away afterwards.

    When I took the zoas out of the water the nudibranch curled up so I couldn't get a picture of it sorry, but did get rid off the eggs and the nudibranch. Zoas are happy again, they reopened prolly 20 mins after being cleaned...

    Very cool, glad it all worked out. Good eye, the nudibranch could have caused some serious frustration later down the line.

    I have been fighting them for about a week now (took approx 30 out this morning). Couple of things work very well:

    1) RO/DI dip for 30 seconds, they fall right off
    2) I use a spot feeder and just suck them in and then dump into glass. It is very easy and I do not have to remove my corals.

    **Bad side on both of the above is that the water will not kill the eggs and hard to suck them up :)

    Good luck!
