yeah, i used to have a greek goddess and then another really pretty purple slug or nudibranch but unfortunately they both met an untimely death from suction. i didnt have them long enough for them to eat anything. so it ate your coral huh. i kept hearing all they ate were sponge and that it was...

gee i guess i could have the nudibranch things in my tank. if they are tiny then maybe i havent seen them. i didnt buy any thats for sure. at least i dont think i did. hmmm.. does anything eat them?
