Hi guy's, has anyone ever added a Janthinidae (purple sea snail) to their FO aquarium?
I am wondering also if it is poisonous?
Thanks
 
Janthina eats primarily jellies and prefers portuguese man o'war Physalia), blue buttons (Porpita), and by the wind sailors (Velella). If no jellies are around Janthina eats other Janthina. The purple ink they produce is noxious. Doesn't sound like a good addition to any tank.
