Quickly follow MyJohnson advise.
I didn't act quickly, and now I've got them completely covering the substrate, and 4-6" up the glass at night. They will turn your entire tank, substrate, rocks, glass rusty red.
I'm planning to make a dip tank, and a dipped holding tub, while I change tanks. I just hope everyone holds on while I get a new tank ready. Then I'll re-dip back into the new larger tank, and add nudibranchs (2) for good measure.
You dont want them to stick around. Nuke-em while you don't have many, as stated, it's their released upon death toxin that hurts things.
....I'm feeling for you, hoping for your good outcome.39g Crypt/ anubias, wild shrimp and minnows.
55g Reef- first salt in many many years, coming along. Looking great, and stable. Garden mix of soft/lps corals. DIY refugeum
20g Reef- different than the first by design.
