Found slug on new coral. Kill it?

I found a slug or shell-less snail moving on my new zoas. Will my fresh water dip take care of this and other parasites?
Thanks,
Tom

You might want to double check that. It could be a Stomatella Snail, but then again it could be a Zoanthid Eating Nudibranch.

IIRC, the standard dip for zoas is 5 mintues in pH and temp adjusted fresh water with a few drops of Lugol's and whatever else you want to add (like flatworm exit). This does not kill and nudi eggs though, so you have to manually remove/kill any you see.
