Caught a nudibranch!

[DurTBear]

I came home today from work and saw this guy munching on some zoos on my frag rack. Sucked him up with a turkey baster, examined him for a minute or two, took a couple pics and flushed him down the toilet! Hopefully he didn't lay any eggs.

IME, if it is that big, eggs are already there. Is the frag a new addition? Take the rock out and when the zoos close, give them a good examination. The eggs will look like small white swirly strands. A FW dip w/ lugols solution might be in order as well.

I just took 2 of these little SOB out of my frag tank.. I did a FW exit dip and Lugols dip on all zoos and shroon rocks in the tank. Good luck...
I am not putting any of those coral in a tank for 3-4 months now..

Oh damn, that sucks. Those little buggers are evil. Dendronotid nudibranchs FTL.

Being new to this, I have to ask. What is so bad about those things?

I believe they will mow through your zoas like a hot knife through butter. You can take a peak at some info on This Page http://www.xtalworld.com/Aquarium/hitchfaq.htm.
