nudibranch?

[1guydude]

I think i have a nudi!!! i havent seen it on any coral pieces yet but it looks a lot like a flatworm and moves slow...i think its to big to be a flatworm though. Is this bad and should i remove it? I cant get a pic cuz its so sm and the pic just blurs lol.

this is why you must DIP!!! pests are not worth it. save urself pain and time and dip before putting them in the tank

you mean freshwater dip....i did it to my zoos and it made the snail hitchhiker a lot easier to take off. I will DIP from now on

 

[nikesb]

not clear enough for an id but it may be a flat worm. cannot id what kind unless i see a closer pic.
as for dips, get some revive!

[nikesb]

Seems to be a big issue lately!
I think it's time to do a write up on dips, how to use them and which ones to use on what and make it a sticky/recommended thread.

This is my zoa dip:

• 
  Remove 3-4 cups of water from your QT/display tank (enough to cover the coral. If you need more than 4 cups, double the recipe).
• 
  Add 4 drops of Flat Worm Exit (FWE).
• 
  Place the coral in the dip for 15 minutes, turn the coral upside-down and shake vigorously for several minutes towards the end of the time frame.
  Place the coral in some freshly removed saltwater from the QT/display and place the coral in the unmedicated water for 15 more minutes, again shaking towards the end.
  Place the coral back in the tank in an area of high flow to disperse any mucous buildup.
  Redip in 2 weeks to target any critters that hatched since your last dip.
