Thanks for sharing!!! Those pictures are so beautiful!! I thought he collected them and took pictures in a studio or something, but no he brought his mini studio with him! He must have an insanely good camera; some of those were tiny!

so are all nudi's coral eaters....would love to see a species if they exist that don't eat coral

I don't think they all eat coral, but I think most of them do eat very specific things. I know some eat only one kind of sponge.

they are gorgeous but I think they are best left in the sea. My LFS had one in a 30 gallon for about 2 days. When those things die it is instant tank crash. And boy is it ugly when it dies, melts away almost instantly.

lettuce nudis are reef safe, most are reef safe but lots of them eat sponges.
