Nudibranch's

[Pewmichael]

Hi all,
Does anyone keep Nudi's in their tanks. I haven't seen any in the shops nor any discussions.

Berghia nudibranch is used to control aiptasia and many hobbyist use them for that purpose. Live aquaria has these blue velvet nudi's that eat flatworms http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=497+524+2198&pcatid=2198. Also lettuce Nudibranch's are kept because they are great algae grazers. However, some nudi's are bad and not reef safe. Of the 3 I mentioned I have only seen berghia's and lettuce nudi's in pet stores.

I put adopt a dozen in my tank years ago, not sure if they are still there or food. Unless you have a small tank, you probably won't notice them

Aside from the utility ones like berghia and lettuce there have always been some really beautiful ones that do no harm but you hardly ever see them around anymore (sure you can find some online). I had a few years ago but IME they always ended up in a pump or in overflow.
