So, I lost the video. And no interpretive dance.

You'll have to be consoled with this.

This is actually pretty interesting read. @pandaparties this from vettguy may help.

I've never heard of using a blue velvet nudibranch, but I did see them for sale recently, they are like 20$. Maybe give that a try.
I'll have to check them out, such a challenge because my nudis in the past have gotten eaten by other fish lol. Thanks for pointing me this way

You could cut the stalk off if it's below the flesh
I'll likely have to go this route but the issue is I'm going to have to dip them weekly and no great place to put them in the mean time where they won't get knocked over. Not to mention the stress of cutting, moving, dipping over and over for some already stressed torches. Flatworm exit and flatworm stop don't work on this species either unfortunately. Hoping some new wrasse I picked up might possibly help but I think they might have already gotten eaten by my rays lol. Feeling so frustrated. Might have to just let nature run its course on this one and have them starve out after the torches are dead. Already lost my big HGs and 24k and only have 5-10 heads left of Knicks and strange

I hate that. Maybe cut stalks and putty/glue to plugs and throw in frag racks for now for easy dipping and security for holding?

Any wrasse in the sand asleep.... Yeah I would be afraid of it too.

I know people talk about 6 lines, yellow coris, melanurus, and red stripped are good. I vote for a Timor Wrasse, kind of partial to him. He really does take care of pest, and then some unfortunately. But as peaceful as could be to other fish.

Pest murderer. Love my green coris wrasse, still miss my Solarensis though.

I did some reading on here since I'm just traveling through airports today, Vettguy had mentioned the blue velvet nudibranch a few times in the past over the years. Looks like other fish don't predate on them because they become toxic from eating flatworms which have a toxin in them, which is why people run carbon after using flatworm exit. Since they are obligate flatworm eaters, like the berghia nudibranch, they will perish once they eat all of the flatworms. Blue zoo aquatics has them for 29.99 right now.
