    So...I noticed late last night that two of my corals - Seasons Greetings Cap and CB Appleberry Monti - both had two dead spots. As I looked closer, I noticed nudibraches on both. I took them out, dipped them in Coral RX, and blew them off. I believe all noticeable ones have been removed. I'll watch closely over the next few days and dip as needed. I'm hoping I can bring these two back to their full glory. So frustrating! Anyone else had these? Any tips or tricks to eradicate them?

    Yeah I just dealt with these in my nano reef. They destroyed my Monti spongodes! If I remember correctly it should take a couple of dips to fully elimante them. Their eggs won't necessarily die off with each dip and that's why you'll have to do multiples. If you have the ability to move the corals out of the display, do it so you can hopefully contain them. They only went for my spongodes and not the red or purple cap but it was still very frustrating.

    Thanks Drewster! I'll continue doing dips at least a couple more times. I've been monitoring them closely and haven't seen any new ones yet. Time will tell...
