s0nya Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Tonight we found what I believe to be an orange nudibranch on our new live rock. I believe it is a nudibranch because it had two little white 'branches' sticking out a hole in it's back. We sucked it up with a baster, but it retracted its 'branches'. I managed to get this picture, although it is a bit blurry. I hope someone can ID and tell me if this is safe to have or not, right now it's in 'quarintine' just in case. Thank you! pic: s0nya Link to comment
Tempest Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 The majority of nudibranches only eat a very specific type of food (each species having its own preferred dinner ). They usually do not do well in small tanks and can realease toxins in the water when they become stressed or die that can harm other tank inhabitants. Do a search for "nudibranch" or "slugs" and you should get a hit with the sea slug url for a better id. Regardless, IMO, removing it was the right thing to do. Link to comment
