Say Hello To My Little Friend! The Lettuce Nudibranch.

[saltyfilmfolks]

Thought it was only an inch or so. It's pretty close to four!

Ok not actually a nudibranch but a sea slug

You got any wrasses in your tank? I honestly have ben thinking about getting one

I am more worried about feeding them lol.

Is that a Lettuce Nudi. Very nice, I always shred them in my pumps

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

I'm pretty happy yea. Lettuce nudi.
Nope no wrasses. Totally worried on all fronts. Food and shredding.
Re installing the nem super guards
Passed on my bryo patch I'd been saving for him
Landed on a particular rock and appears to be grazing. Won't leave the rock anyway. No visible algaes on it either. Hmm.

Kinda faded in color not surprising with lack of recent food and light so it's stil iffy IMO.
Really I had thought read seen and researched and I believed they were an inch. One we got in the big tank holy smokes! Stretched out there on the glass he's close to five inches!

Love it!

With a "face" like that he/she needs one!

Yup found it local. I've been waiting to get one for a long time. But my tank really wasn't right yet.

I suppose I should actuall do a thread on the tank now or y'all will think I just run a swamp.

@saltyfilmfolks very cool..
Could you explaine me what is nem super guard

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

So it a pretty interesting critter so far. Seems to "sleep" quite often at nigh it certain spots. Feeding is hard to gauge. Its landed on the mag float a bunch. I don't see visible marks on it. Landed on some patches of algae too, still not sure. Im a little concerned about the colors being so faded. It likes the top of the tank definitely, probably for light I assume.
Pretty glad I'm home this week to keep an eye on it in the display.
I keep reading and rereading, pretty much the same info everywhere, Advenced aquarist and Seaslugforum so really just trying to patiently obsereve.
