cookie extreme Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 would blend in well with white xenia! :-? but i guess its a "harmless" slug (aeolidinia) looking at the 4 feelers that feeds on hydroids. i would leave and see . pretty looking if ya don't want it i'll have it. :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lduncan Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 I would be wary of any white coloured nudibranch. They are often coral eaters. I would remove it. If it's like any of the other white nudibranchs i've had, they can cause massive damage (I've monti eating ones, and long before that a much larger soft coral eating one).

cookie extreme Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 i have done tests with quite a few types of nudibranchs while living in various parts of the tropics and had more problems trying to keep them alive! never had problems with them eating my corals, i had more headaches with nudibranchs going into the pumps and being minced up (300 ltr powerhead) and releasing all sorts of poisson into the water killing almost everything in the tank, but those were always to very colourful, fleshy looking ones.

skuzza Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 You could take it out and put in the sump with all your frags and extra corals and see what happens.You will know for sure that does eat the coral and not somthing else. :-?

cookie extreme Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 but then you could end up buying corals at your LFS that have been partly eaten if it turns out to be a nasty. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pies Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 I have seen similar in my tank, they are breeding so I have no idea what they eat, I havn't noticed corals being munched or anything but its possible. Live and let live I say. Pie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
