My melanurus looks like he's gonna be drama. He ate the corpse of my anthia to the bones.

Since all of my fish are either dead or dying in the large tank he has a taste for ich flavored fish.

Poor fish once their weak in comes blue boy to tear them and swallow their flesh. Cannibalism at it's best.
yeah sounds about right, but better than a nice ammonia spike. Which is why my tank has survived my fish losses in the past, even the ones I could not find...

My Melanurus took care of my Monti eating Nudis, and he doesn't touch anything in the tank except pods... He eats pellets, and goes nuts for Nori when I put it in for the tangs!

When the aiptasia is all dead, do the nudibranches eat anything else in the meantime?

No. They will typically starve and die off as well. Sad, but they are very useful. If you can catch them, sell/ trade them to some other reefer that has an aiptasia problem.
