Ornamental Nudibranchs?

[Tristan]

Anyone know of cool looking Nudibranchs that won't damage a reef?

Lettuce Nudibranches from Liveaquaria can look nice.

It's not so much that they will hurt corals or fish directly but most are specialized eaters and will only eat one species of sponge or hydroid and they are therefore doomed to starve. Lettuce nudis are pretty much the only type that are possible to maintain in captivity.

"lettuce nudibranch" which are not technically a nudibranch but a species of sea slug that consumes chloroplasts from algae to replace the ones on their outer skin as they die.

What about those blue velvet nudibranchs that eat flatworms? I have a bunch of those tiny red dot flatworms on my glass

I forgot about those! Yeah those are easy to maintain if you have enough flatworms but once they eat them all you have to find it a new home with food or it will just die. Speaking of which, I need to borrow one.
