More than just frags at the swap!! (Zoo eating nudibranch)

[gsengel]

Well, we had a great time at the swap and picked up some great frags. Unfortunately, we also picked up a zoo-eating nudibranch. I have attached some of my pictures, and here are two links for reference:

If anyone has any tips on how to handle this please post your thoughts here. Also, if anyone picked up zoos, you should look for these guys!

Check out the info on freshwater/iodine dip on the RC zoa forum.

Off the top of my head, it's something like 5 drops of Lugol's to 1 gallon of freshwater. Match temp and pH to your tank. Soak and swish your zoa for something like 4 minutes. Rinse before putting back in your tank.

If you don't have Lugol's you can use regular tincture of iodine, but use 2x as much.

Check for spiral egg cases and pick those off, also. The eggs are not affected by the iodine, so you may need to do multiple treatments.
