nudibranch.... reef safe?

[tpenn187]

i just purchased a nudibranch from the lfs, it is a white with black spots, an i was wondering if these are reef safe. i have kept them before and not had any problem, but not this color.

That thing is cool look!

Might be a good idea to research animals BEFOR you buy them.

Yes, it's reef safe. It only feeds on specific sponges and will starve in your tank.

thats unfortunate.

Yeah, it's Jorunna funebris, and will slowly starve to death. There is a pic here, with its likely food sponge:
