Info needed on keeping Nudibranch (Sea Slug)

[tapiana]

Hello There -

I have a 5g tank at home that is cycling for SW with nothing in it. I was thinking of doing Sea Horses - but I need a larger tank for them than I have. I went to the LFS and saw the cutest Nudibranch - Chromodoris bullocki. I would love to have a tank with several different kinds in there, but am doing research first.

Any suggestions? Can I have several in a 5g tank (4-5)? What are they like - what do they eat? How about keeping 1 small fish in there? Corals,annemones etc - are those ok? Any info would be great.

Thanks

Tapiana

It probably eats something most people don't have in their tank. Check out The

They feed exclusively on sponges and only on certain species. We don't know what species those would be though and even if we did there's no way to get a reliable stream of them. In short, these slugs are doomed to starve in captivity.

What he said ^ which is true for virtually all nudibranchs.
