Nudibranch ID

ludnix · 09/05/2009, 06:46 PM

I found this little guy in my frag tank, I siphoned him out immediately as I haven't heard of any "good" nudibranchs.

Anyone know what he is?

EDIT: he doesn't appear to be a monti-eating nudi as he has much more color than any I've seen. He's approximately 1cm in length.

Looks like a zoa eating nudi IMO

When I searched for zoa eating nudibranch on google I found one on melev's site that looks a lot like this guy. Thanks for the help.

If your "Berghia" is white, it means it hasn't been eating much of anything lately. They keep some of the symbiont algae from the aptasia that they eat in their system for a few days.
