Zoanthid-eating Nudibranchs
are difficult to see. As they eat the zoas, the color they injest will
enter their bodies, so they blend in perfectly. Your best bet is to look
at the zoanthid colonies at night when they are closed up, as the nudibranchs
can't hide then. If you choose to dip zoanthids in a solution of saltwater
and iodine, you may spot these litle guys hiding within the polyps. They
are predators, and should not be introduced into your tank. NOT
