Breeding lettuce slug.

[Paul B]

The lettuce slugs are still breeding in my reef. I have over 100 and I have been selling them to LFSs. I shipped a dozen to a slug researcher yesterday who is researching how they transfer the chloraplasts from the plants into their own tissues. They seem to live on just light. I have some still in empty plastic containers floating in the tank and they grow just as well as the slugs that are slithering around on the rock. Cute little suckers.
I have pictures if anyone wants to try to post them

This forum is for posts about clams and other mollusks. Therefore, the original post was relevant to the topic.

Here is a pic of Paul's Elysia Crispata:

I am not a member of any clubs. I learned not to volunteer for anything in the Army. What do they do there? Where is it? How many people go?
