ZeroGravity Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 What kinda nudibranch is this exactly? Link to comment
nano-nemo Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 sure looks like a flat worm to me, but you can try searching the at seaslugforums.com Link to comment
kraphtymac Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Is it bordered by white? I can't tell from your pic... If so, it MIGHT be an Orange Peel Nudi... can you get a better pic of either end(s) so we can tell if it a flat worm, nudi, or dorid? Link to comment
MarLooney Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 that doesn't look like a FW. it does look like a nudi but you'd have to get a better pic. anyways it looks cool. good luck with it. Link to comment
ZeroGravity Posted June 2, 2004 Author Share Posted June 2, 2004 sorry, since i put him in the tank last night he has been hugging and crawling all over the rocks... on the glass, his belly is all black, with a thin white border around it... he is sometimes long and skinny.... but kinda shrinks his body into short and fat, like in the pic. lol...

ZeroGravity Posted June 2, 2004 Author Share Posted June 2, 2004 I think it is a Phyllidia Ocellata... according to here anyways... http://www.seaslugforum.net/phylocel.htm Thanks for the help! Link to comment
MarLooney Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 good job on the ID. are they harmful? i bet they're not too common in the hobby. if it doensn't pose a threat to anything you got a nice find there. Link to comment
ZeroGravity Posted June 2, 2004 Author Share Posted June 2, 2004 i read that some of them feed on coral, and sponges... but i dont have either of those im my tank... and i also read that they smell bad to the fish and crabs so they wont attack it. lol... Link to comment
Tempest Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Most nudibranches are very specific when it comes to food, eating only a particular type of coral or sponge. They generally starve to death in home aquariums. The majority of them are poisonous and release a powerful toxin when they die which can have adverse effects on fish, corals and other inverts.
