Help with Monti Eating Nudi problem

[Reeferbadness]

My Monti is under siege by what I’m pretty sure is Monti eating Nudibranch. It’s a 200g mixed reef tank with lots of acro / sps plus several torches, hammers, 2 large space invader colonies and other corals. At this point, I’m ok with the Montis being eaten - I have another tank with plenty in there to repopulate. My question is should I take the Monti’s out and wait a few months ? Should I be worried about the nudis attacking other corals ?? Any advice on this would be most appreciated

Monti eating nudis can occasionally nibble on the odd chalice depending on species. If you don't plan on keeping the montis you can just go without for a while and see if anything else looks bothered.

I'd recommend pulling the coral if you're going to let it be consumed anyway, that will at least immediately knock the population down

Thanks. Will pull out the Monti and hope for the best.

I had this problem except it was on a christmas tree worm rock. The eggs laid dormant for 2 months before hatching and starting to eat. They came out of nowhere and I know they came on that rock because I had added nothing else to the tank in the time between. I lost 99% of the coral on that piece. I had a large show colony of grafted monti that I really didn't want eaten but I didn't want the christmas tree worms dead from a dip so I moved the rock as far away as I could and let them starve after eating all the coral on that rock. Its been about 3 months since i've seen any evidence of them but I'm giving it another 3 months before I add anything potentially on the menu
