The Lime sea slug that eats only Caulerpa. Am hunting for one. Anyone have any info or experience? Anyone? Even Sea Slug Forum has next to no info on them.

I put a few in my tank once, but like most bubble-type snails, they cruised around a couple of days and then disappeared. The places I've found them were not very similar to most reef tanks, so it might be difficult to duplicate the habitat. I typically found them in very shallow, super-aerated water near shore, crawling on the algae as it was being moved around by the waves.

Cheers,




Don

Thanks a million for the info Don. You saved me trouble and you've saved little invert lives.
