Beautiful animal.

Dangerous to gorgonians.

 

All the literature I can find state that it EXCLUSIVELY eats gorgonians.

 

I almost bought a bunch of gorgonians just to feed this wonderful animal.

 

But wait, what's she doing? Um, she's eating my GSP.

 

So, if you have a GSP problem or you want to keep one if these lovlies, you know what to look for.

 

I think it should be called a Leopard Snail, myself. Ive never seen a flamingo's tongue so what do I know.

Do you have gorgonians in your tank at all?

Nope. Almost bought a bunch from the vendor just to feed the snail.Dont have to. I still want a Gorg tank, without the snail in that one.

 

I figured it was something like that.

 

I cant get that link to work

The link is not working for me either.

 

I wonder if you put a test piece of gorgonian in there, if it would prefer it over GSP.

IME, gorgonians do not do well when exposed to air, GSP however has no problem with air exposure.

I have three large patches.

 

She'll graze on one, then she'll move on.

 

The first piece regenerates(or stops being pissed) and then extends polyps.

 

She concentrates on the mat, leaving the star polyps intact.

So is she really eating it then?

It's great it's eating something that grows so fast rather than expensive gorgs :)

 

If you do decide to get some gorgs I would try another vendor, they did not package mine in a way that was consistent with them surviving the 24 hour shipping and they were pretty small.

 

KPAquatics is a good alternative.
