I have Nudis

I see 3 nudibranchs on my glass. Should I get them out with tweezers? Should I dip My Zoo's again? Are the 3 that I see a sign that I have alot more?

Ouch, Yea thats a good sign you got more. Id go with manual removal and then dip the zoos.

What is the down side to having nudibraches?
I just did a search on them and read they were reef safe.
Just confused Thanks.

That's a shame!!! I think Nuds are beautiful...

It is said that Nuds have very specific diets including various sponges that may or may not be plentiful. If they reproduce like I've heard it will be hard to keep them feed.

I've also heard that when they start dieing off it/they will release some kind of toxin into the water that is suppose to be worse than typical die off.

Either way they are hard to keep from what I hear. I am by no means an expert but been dying to put these awesome creatures in my tank.... just scared to!!!!

From all that I read they eat Zoanthids and I have alot of Zoo's in my tank. I don't think all of them eat Zoo's but I have seen pictures of the Zoo eaters and thats definitely what I have.
