Red tip sea goddess

[goodtimes2]

Anyone has kept these in their reef tank? Trying to determine if it is reef safe and any special feeding requirements . I think it is a nutribranch and not a sea slug, Thanks for any helpful feedback

Red tip sea goddess = Glossodoris sedna, family Chromodorididae. All chromodorids are specialized sponge feeders so without the right type of sponge in your tank it will die. Unfortunately, no one knows exactly which sponges it eats and even if it was know, it's unlikely they'd show up at a LFS. Sponge eaters tend to concentrate the defensive chemicals made by sponges in their own bodies. Some nudibranchs - notably the phyllidiids - are so toxic they can nuke a tank when they die or release the chemicals.
