    Blue Velvet Nudibranch

    Does any one have a Blue Velvet Nudibranch that I an borrow/loan/lease/buy whilst he eats my flatworms. Checking up on them they only eat flatworms, so checking to see if any members ever had one thats getting hungry.

    Maybe the club could have a loaner Nudi !

    I tried several methods to eradicate them and this seems a good option, if I can find one.

    I don't have a Nubibranch, sorry. I did manage my flat worm infestation with a Possum Wrasse (Tanaka's Pygmy) in a small tank. I keep them in check in my big tank with the same fish but I added a Mystery Wrasse for backup. These are two of my favorite fishes and both are reported to eat flatworms (but I can only confirm the Pygmy). You can normally find Tanaka's Pygmy at Sea in the City and/or Ocean Blue for normal retail prices. I saw a Mystery Wrasse at Saltwater Livestock priced WAY below retail. (Maybe call ahead?) I hope that helps and G/L with the flatworms.

    Received the Nudibranch this morning. After drip Acclimating him/her, for several hours set her off to work in my 75 G tank. Very prolific eater so far, The FW are even running away as she approaches. Fingers crossed!
