Muttley000 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Do they move around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AspiringLobophyllia Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 Do they move around? Very slowly, but yes. Some type of nudibranch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AspiringLobophyllia Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 They do move around, this morning here’s a picture of the coral again Probably about a 1/3rd the piece is dead, I’m going to quickly toss it so hopefully the unknown murderer won’t get to the other monti. This is my first time ever using a quarantine tank, thank goodness I did this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Fraggenstien Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Likely a monti-eating variety - not good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonvice Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Just out of curiosity, did you dip the corals before placing them in the QT tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it's more complicated than that. If the OP only has two monti frags, he's probably better off throwing them out and waiting a while before purchasing any more montipora https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/advice-fighting-montipora-eating-nudibranches.204751/ AspiringLobophyllia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a bad move not to, oops Wouldn't have made much difference. Dip will do nothing to kill the eggs. Only benefit would be that you would see some adults fall off and then not put in a tank with other montis. If you know who you purchased those montis off of, it'd be a good idea to give them a heads up so they don't continue to spread them.

Unfortunately I didn’t get a name from the guy I bought them from. What are the odds that my chili pepper monti that is on the other side of the 10 gallon QT tank will die too? As of last night I didn’t see any on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reeferntraining Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I am sorry to hear that you picked these up. I got them from the Dayton swap. Luckily they never made it out of QT. I am curious if the people spreading these are aware of it. I hope the person/persons passing these around aren’t aware of it. PM me if you want to try to find out who it may be.

crimsonvice Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Just after the Dayton swap one of the guys messaged me and said that he had noticed that he had AEFW. Yikes! Ended up not having any issues, but still.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reeferntraining Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Not only did I have nudibranchs, I have what I believe is a bacterial infection that has wiped out 90% of my SPS. I’d love to find out who I got both these problems from....Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
