I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman where the Self Help section was. She said if she told me it would defeat the purpose.

what i did was to use a sryinge and blow off the nudis that i could spot. this will prevent machinical damage to the monti and also super glue the eggs. the sixline and yellow wrasse did the rest though i think the sixline contributed more

That would have meant taking the rock out and working outside.?

Update:
I gave up on the monti. Took the rock out over the weekend, when i noticed even more btw it and another digitata. I'm not sure how many more there is/could be, so it wasn't worth the risk and the worry.
After removing most of the monti, I used a syringe to squirt RO/DI water at the portions where the monti was.
Now with some hope and lots of prayers, it won't return.

I think a leopard wrasse or yellow wrasse will be helpful..

Helpful for prevention, certainly not for damage recovery or control...
Actually, you could have ripped off that whole section that infected right Ivan?

I'm sadly losing the battlle against the little pests. Thought I got rid of them by removing the entire green monti cap on the right side. Yesterday morning I found one single nudi right smack in the middle of on front glass wall, This prompted me to take a closer look around. Yesterday, I spotted another monti being attacked on, this is a purple one growing in the centre of my green whorling monti on the left bottom. This will be quite a difficult one to reach and pull out, without damaging the both pieces. God only knows how many more there are around.
Does anyone know of any effective treatment for them. Does lugols(conc. iodine) wrok? whats the dosing amount. Is there another treatment medication. I read fresh water baths are not good.
Thnx everyone... : )

have you tried wrasses bro?? Seems like the montis are encrusted in your tank and would be hard to remove for treatment... plus, its a straight NO NO for freshwate dips.....

hi there bro living stones,
sad to hear youre dealing with nudis. i havent experienced them personally, but by all the accounts ive read, sixline wrasses seem to be helpful. perhaps you could give them a try ya.
cheers,
ian
