Lettuce nudibranch

Pic of my nudi, chilling on the back glass. He's been thriving in my tank for over 2 weeks and has grown about 1.5 inches! His markings turned from a light green when purchased to a very dark green, and is growing extremely fast!

 

He cruises around the tank all day and lightly munches here and there on my various types of algae. I have protected all intakes and he seems to be having a very happy life.

Good luck with him. I'm on about month 7 with mine and he's wihtering away more and more each day. I did a bit of research and found their average lifespan is approximately 6 months. So, as I said...good luck. Enjoy him while he's around.

He's about 2.5 inches right now. Yeah, I'm aware of their naturally short life span ... I just want him to live a full, healthy and happy life. It's the least I can do for such a cute creature. He seems to be very happy and keeps getting darker and darker green. I haven't noticed him really making an impact on my algae, just kinda munches on this and that, so he's not really that functional, hehe.

 

But he's adorable!
