Nudibranch

funkpolice · 02-23-2008, 05:53 PM

Hello,
Has anyone here successfully kept any nudibranch alive for a considerable amount of time? I've done enough research on them to know they are very specific feeders and nearly impossible to keep captivley, but some of them are absolutely amazing to look at. They have some that are purple (hypselodoris bullocki?) and others that are white w/ orange spots at the lfs, and the guy working there said they have been there for a "long time", but I don't trust them.

Most of them are specific feeders. If you can ID what nutrition they need and provide it, then you should be able to keep it in captivity. Furthermore, many of them have a short life span in the wild.
