Zoa Nudibranchs!
So I have a 30 gallon reef tank with a current stocking of 2 ocelaris, a Royal gramma, cleaner shrimp, and a goby pistol shrimp pair. I noticed that my zoas are getting eaten up by the little sea slugs, and I have removed a few manually myself. I will be soon getting some sort of dipping chemical, which comes tommy question, which one should I get? And for the second part, I want to know the best wrasse to fit in my tank. I don't want a Six line wrasse, but I heard the Possum wrasse is good, but might not eat them. Any suggestions?

Well I also have ZENs (zoa eating nudibranchs). Even big ones the size of your finger nail. My elegance coral and duncan coral eats them from time to time, or i would just blast the damn ZENs into the corals. A bristleworm decided to make its home in the zoa colony and actually ate most of the eggs and even the adults and juvies! My Green BTA ate 1 ZEN before. I am not sure about wrasses. Hopefully someone can reply on it.

Bayer Dip, then scrape off any eggs clusters. Keep the zoas quarantined for a few weeks to see if any more Nudibranch appear and if none show up return them to your display tank.

I would do what the post above says. You need to stop the ZENs reproductive cycle.

Strange how palyothoa produce some of most toxic poison in the natural world and something actually eats them.

Small Yellow or Green Coris. for juvenile/adult slug elimination.
Manual removal , scraping of eggs. Dips WON'T do anything to the eggs.
