Nudibranch????

Dalmatia · May 8, 2016

I found this nudibranch in my nano... any clues to what type it is?

KJ · May 8, 2016

Elysia?

Dalmatia · May 8, 2016

No that's not it

You have to speak the magic words to get the answer
@Lionfish Lair

Good luck

LOL! If it's not a Elysia as said, then I would check and see if it's an Oxynoe sp. It's one or the other.

Elysia? I had one appear in my tank... I believe they eat caulerpa?

Wilsoni · May 8, 2016

This is the one I found. They look almost identical

I'm sure the OP thanx you lionfish it's great to have such knowledgeable people who can answer almost any question you have I love r2r

Now back to your lair until needed again your kinda like Batman/woman shine the lionfish symbol and you come save the day lol

Then I'm dragging KJ back with me, I believe he got it right the first time

I do see a slight tell-tale "bubble hump" however, but I think it could be equally likely to be either/or.

Dalmatia · May 9, 2016

So I should keep him?

Lionfish Lair · May 9, 2016

Yes. Unless you have macroalgae, they will eventually die.

I guess it's cause of the lighting they look a little different

They can even turn color when they are starving... the Elysia that is. And I do think it's an Elysia over an Oxynoe, BTW. If you had of said "Yup, that's it", I wouldn't have followed it up with the Oxynoe suggestion. Do you still have him?

Even though there's a hint of a 'bump" on the top Elysia, you can see by his reflection, it's probably just the angle and a little camera trickery.

It has the flap of flesh as observed on the one I found in my tank. The bump could definitely be an illusion. Mine slithered into the sump and I never saw it again after that.

I don't like killing stuff, especially if I don't know what it is
