Resolved What is this creature on my glass?

I'd like to see some data on that.

 

Yup it's a Berghia nudibranch. I have about ten in my tank now. They are awesome little creatures, but they feed only on Aipastia. If you see it during the day that means it is hungry or starving looking for food. They are colony feeders and breeders. One doesn't do much. If you don't have small aipastia, he will most likely die. They have beautiful colors, once full of aipastia. They are safe for reef tanks. Hope this helps.

 

If this is true, I regret removing it. Yes they do have beautiful colors when they grow.

 

Don't spend too much time regretting getting it out of your tank Most of the nudi's that turn up in tanks that resemble Berghia end up eating something else (usually one of your soft corals, rather than Aiptasia).

Do a little research on Berghia, and the one sold as Berghia, Aeolidiella stephanieae, and make up your own mind:

unfortunatelyy that isn't a berghia and even if it was they are specialized eaters, meaning once they eat every food source they will die, so thats for whoever said they cruise around.

now you could turn this into a cool project, by finding out what it eats, then keeping it in a nano providing the food source.

im sure someones gonna say thats stupid but how many people could say they have a nudi only tank?
