Icon13 nudibranch infestation killing corals

A good friend of mine has an 8 gallon nano infested with Mariona sp. dendronotid nudibranch's. We are sure of the identification. I'm at a loss as to the control options.
Any suggestions out there?

got a pic of them? i did a search on the word mariona, nothing came up, and the search on dendronotid nudibranch's revealed a wide variety of dendronotids. what kind of havoc are they reeking on the tank? i guess them being hermaphrodites doesnt help in reducing the population huh? cant you just start plucking them out 1 by 1 until the number left is reasonable or are they fairly small?

Use a remote place like Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket then copy and paste the direct link code in that box.....Can everything be removed and dipped?

Ahhh...25 years experience and all those tanks?

If you have all that you know about QT procedures and what to dip in what.

There are several nudis that are bad for a reef as well as a ton of other stuff that comes in on LR and corals. Some corals need freshwater dips and some need salt with Iodine dips and some people are even using a pesticide for Monti eating nudis.
