Well found this guy tonight crawling around one of my clams. He is about 1-1.5" long. And as anyone who knows me knows... you dont mess with my clams. Although I am sure he was not feeding or harming my derasa, I would still like to know if he is friend or foe. Anyone know?

That is totally it. Doesnt give a family name for it though. That helps pin the search down a little. :) That is strange because I do not have any gorgonian in my tank at all. I wonder what he has been surviving this whole time... strange. Thanks for that link! |

Ok I found it. Strange - it says it feeds on softies. Seeing as how I have no softies in my tank - I wonder how it is surviving. My wife refuses to let me put it back in the tank. Anyone want it? http://www.seaslugforum.net/factsheet.cfm?base=triteleg - http://www.seaslugforum.net/factsheet.cfm?base=triteleg Tritoniopsis elegans

If he eats your hydroids I want him when you are done Suzy. He
could live in my tank for a loooong time living on hydroids. Fax ------------- Fax 318-3632 90g 2x250W 14kK MH Sump, Fuge, G3, UV, O3, ACIII Pleasant Grove, UT Across State Street from the Purple Turtle Adjustments and Massages for Frags! |
