Thanks. I've always like lettuce nudis. I don't think they live very long though.

A bought a couple of them from an online retailer with my cuc. I never tried them before, and now that I have, I will always keep them. I think they add interest and educational value to the display. Apparently this type of sea slug incorporates the chloroplasts from the algae it eats into it's own tissues, giving it a photosynthetic food source. They're like Popeyes of the ocean.
