I.S.O; Lettuce Nudibranch (1 Viewer)

[Guest]

In search of Lettuce nudibranch any local sponsors have one?

I've been looking for one for some time, I don't want to buy online, I'd rather use a sponsor.

Any ideas where to go?

I haven't seen any lately. Maybe ask one of the sponsors if they can order some in. I know Kenny at Aquatic Center has taken requests before.

If you find one please let me know where you found it. I have been looking for them as well....

I saw one in the sps tank at City Pets last week - pretty tiny though.

Thanks and a correction

Lettuce Sea Slug is correct- NOT nudibranch. Nudibranch's are a different type of creature, and all are carnivorous.

Thanks to Dr. Shimek for setting me straight on that

The major draw back to slugs is that they always get sucked into an overflow or powerhead.

You just need to buy smarter slugs.

I don't plan on using any powerheads, and the oceanic RR overflow has some pretty narrow slots, about 1/4" wide.

Do you think they get stuck in there?

 

[AggieBrandon]

yes

I've never had any luck with lettuce nudislugs. They never seemed to do a good job and they disappeared after a short while. I had plenty of crap algae for them to eat, too.

A friend ordered some with his cleanup crew. One vanished and the other ends up either in the sump at least once a month.

Despite their troublesome nature they are fun to watch and make a nice addition if you know what you're getting into
