nudis

You have to take the zoo colonys out and dip them. While dipping you need to shake it good to get any nudi's off. After the dip you need to look very good for Nudi Eggs which will look like spirals and they need to be scraped off.

If it is early enough they may only be on a colony but I would treat them all if it were me. It may also have to be done more than once.

Thank God I have never had them but this is where I first learned about this:

hey michelle i had a couple of nudis on some cloves i got (not the ones you sold me) and i didn't see them until i did a freshwater dip and they were in the bottom of the container after i shook them. i don't know if they were bad guys (the didn't look like the one you posted) but i flushed em just in case. so a freshwater dip worked for me...

Ya but freshwater alone is not really good enough for zoos Meg. At the very least use a Hydrogen peroxide mix.

definetely supports the dipping method.
