lettuce nudibranch trouble

dkritz · 04/16/2009, 01:18 PM

My nudi seems to be withering away, getting smaller and browner. He now stays in the same place on the glass all the time as well. What do they eat, and what can I do?

Thanks.

Put Nori in for them to feed on. If they are starving they should go over and eat some. You can buy Nori at any good grocery store that dose sushi fresh. Make sure its the unseasoned kind and your good to go. Good luck to you guys

On a side note I have had the same to sea hair's in my tank for about 6 months or better and they are still kicking. They are good peeps in my book

Do lettuce nudis really eat nori? I would love to hear from all who have had success that way.

I love the way they look, but unfortunately the last 2 I got starved in my tank and I don't want to get any more unless I am sure that I can feed them.
