velvet nudi

[Reefgyrl]

Everyone cross your fingers. I just got my velvet nudi a couple of hours ago. I am slowly acclimating him so I hope he will make it and finish off my flatworms!!

Are nudibranches reef safe? Saw some cool lettuce nudi's today but I thought they were coral destroyers?

 

[Bifferwine]

Some are safe. Lettuce leaf nudis are reef safe, as they only feed on bryopsis algae. But most nudis rarely live longer than a few weeks in our tank, lettuce nudis included.

Good info biff thanks, look cool as hell though!

 

[Reefgyrl]

He alive! I thought he was dead in the bag put after I let him loose he started moving on the sand!! He is sooo cute, my girlfriend is mad at me for getting him because I told her he wouldn't last long! I will post some pics tomorrow.

That's a pretty nudi. Keep us posted on how it does!

DEAD today. I found him hunched up in a ball in front of the tank. Bummer, he was wolfing down those flatworms!

 

[Bifferwine]

That sucks to hear, I'm sorry. Nudis in general do not have good survival rates in captivity. It's too bad because they are such beautiful animals.

yeah I am bummed. He was really sucking up the flatworms. I knew he woudn't live long, but was hoping he would last more than 2 days!
