Lettuce Nudibranch

I have been looking for information about Lettuce Nudibranchs. Does anyone know it sally lightfoots, blue leg crabs, or if a chocolate chip star would harm it? I understand that they can release toxins in the water if they are harmed or killed. I have also read they are great in home aquariums and that they are not! Any first hand information would be great! Thanks Ricky

I thought I read the Lettuce Nudi's are non-toxic?

I guess I'll have to check again myself...

Sorry, after more research they are not toxic! I found just a couple that said they were, and that they didn't fair well in home aquariums. Most said they were great and did well. Still no info if the others will harm them?

We've tried them a few times to battle hair algae and it has never worked well for us. They definitely eat the algae, but never enough before they inevitably find their way into a power head and become nudibranch confetti... Cool critters though!

Agreed, cool, but don't last too long for wahtever reason.
