Whats a good quarantine plan for monties?
Im considering an initial dip upon receival then a second dip 2-3 days later and a third one after a week then moving to display?
Would monti eating nudis damage appear after a week or should i wait some more before moving to DT?
Also any preferred dipd between CoralRX,TMPCC, and revive for monti eating nudis?
Thanks

Bayer insecticide seems to be most effective dip available. Inspect for eggs (if I spot eggs of any kind, I discard frag--everyone has their own value system regarding threat of introducing pests) . If frag is on plug, remove plug. If on rock, cover rock with super glue. Bayer will kill worms but eggs of any pest will likely survive.

Any idea how long the eggs take to hatch for monti eating nudis?
Thanks

Consider using a toothbrush or similar.

So will nutibranches eat acros and stags?

Since Revive doesn't kill the eggs, you're gambling here. Look at all your colonies and consider whether a $10 frag is worth the risk. I'd personally do a much longer quarantine process with several dips.
