Nudibranch with a mantis

[psychodave]

How well would a Blue Velvet Nudibranch fair in a mantis tank? Ive got a small population of flat worms developing and since its a reef tank Id like to controll the problem asap.

I've never seen a stomatopod eat a nudibranch, although I have seen them remove them from the area - not always with a gentle touch.

About a year back, someone gave me a ozen or so green lettuce nudibranchs, which i added to the tanks containing by G. platysoma, G. ternatensis and G. viridis. they started to disappear (No bodies) within a week or so.

Aren't they pretty much just snails without shells?
I am not sure if they were eaten, but there was plenty of food for them (They ate heartily on my grape caulerpa, as well as algae.

hmm I was told that most nudis are toxic and most predators wont go after them because they are toxic... Mitch hasnt done anything to deserve a $20 snack, but id sure like to get one to take care of the flatworms.
