They are excelent algae eaters and look super cool in the tank. I dont know the species name of the one that have but the common one is Elysia crispata.

Hi everyone! This is my 30g long display refugium which soon will be connected to a 55g reef tank :D..I hope haha. I already have the 55g tank but im still saving for the light fixture. So...the tank is 6 months old, filtered by one internal filter and 1 external (I had a 550 gph waterpump...

Thanks a lot!!! Sorry if I ask to much. I have all the things I need to start my tank but im trying to stay within my budget and the only thing thats left is the light. I emptied my 4 tanks and decided to start with the 20g tall one because it looks nicer IMO and is a lot easier to keep, then...

I love those!!! And if you want more of them...just cut it in half right in the center.
