Most nudibranchs seem to feed on corals or anemones of some sort. (They can actually carry the coral's/anemone's stinging cells into their own bodies as a defense!) They can be very selective about which ones they'll eat - Berghia nudibranchs, for instance, eat _only_ Aiptasia anemones. The usual result of that is that we either don't have the coral that particular nudibranch feeds on, and it starves in our tanks - or we do, but we really wanted to keep the coral, and not use it as nudibranch food.

~Bruce, who has old eyes and can't really see the target of your photos well enough for an ID - even with glasses and "ctrl-+"
