reefboy Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Yep found one but would only use this guy in a QT system it's a Aurgia B-fly I had a trade come in and glad i had put in QT well i noticed the nudi's well i diped and so on trying diffrent methods to rid them but to no aval.Anyways during that time i had apatasia's going in the same tank so I bought a Aurgia to rid the system of them well to my surprise it took care of the nudi's as well.Well after a bit of time in that tray to make sure it had goten any babys as well i noticed in my other tray that a few paly colonys that were being QT had nudi's also one was crawling with them.Anyways i moved B-fly to that QT tray and by next day were gone now he'll stay in there for a month.So this guy works but wouldnt recommend to put in display unless a last resort as they are coral eaters and nippers.

Michael7979 Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Hopefully you just didn't get the 'one in a million' guy that does eat them. Would be interested in seeing if someone else has the same results with another Auriga B-fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAVES Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 many of the auriga BF are reef safe. I have seen threads on RC of people putting them in there show to aid aiptasia. They were big systems however, so it may be they just dont do enough damage to any one coral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were big systems however' date=' so it may be they just dont do enough damage to any one coral.[/quote'] I do believe they'd be ok in systems larger then 200 gal that are full of corals as there would just be minor attacks due to lots to pick from but I would assume clams may not be safe, I also would be curious to if mines one in a million but im assuming not ill be getting one for each tray in the QT after the new year so ill let you know.
