| Tridacna maxima  | Re: What about Lettuce Slugs???? They feed on Bryopsis and Derbesia algae(both are types of hair algae). May feed on Caulerpa. They don't eat the algae but rather "suck the juice out". They only feed on the kinds of algae listed (as far as I know) and will starve unless they are available.

| Fire Coral  | Re: What about Lettuce Slugs???? Bizarre creatures for sure! Very cool... I saved mine from the intake just minutes before being shredded....then ended up losing him to a heater accident a few days later. He crawled on when the heater was off and was in the middle of the hot spot when it clicked back on. Fried. Oops. So...if your heater is in tank...be careful. |
