Sea Slugs Sea Slugs, sometimes called Nudibranchs, have incredibly beautiful colors and an unusual body shape. Typically found strolling through areas of tropical reefs, their most memorable characteristic is a pair of stalked rhinophores or horns at the head of the Slug. It should be noted that only a very few sea slugs in the wild will live in a reef aquarium for any length of time. We only offer those specimens for sale.

Chamberlain Nudibranch This beauty was first discovered in 1997. Its favorite diet is the brown type of algae that occurs on the rock, sand and glass of an aquarium.

Eats flatworms (Planaria), an eyesore to the marine aquarium that eventually becomes plague proportions. These flatworms will quickly cover all the live rock in the aquarium and spread rapidly throughout the aquarium. Nearly impossible to get rid of without using harmful chemicals in the reef aquarium that are detremental to fish and corals. According to Julian Sprung, The Reef Aquarium, Vol. 2, Velvet Nudibranch literally suck them up like a vacuum. Though some mandarins will eat flatworms, it's a hit and miss kind of thing. The only thing which works everytime is the velvet nudibranch. The only thing these creatures eat are flatworms and they will absolutely devour them. Note: We guarantee that ALL species we offer will arrive alive and in good condition. However, because of the increased level of care required for this particular species it has been designated as a restricted species which means the species is recommended only for the experienced marine aquarist. The specific problems to watch for are that it may be killed by getting sucked into pumps or powerheads, it is also very sensitive to high levels of nitrates, and last it will not tolerate copper-based medications.

The Lettuce Sea Slug may also be referred to as the Lettuce Nudibranch, or Green Lettuce Nudibranch, although it is not a true nudibranch. It has been referred to as both Tridachia crispata and Elysia crispata. The Lettuce Sea Slug will do well in established aquarium systems, if provided ample room to forage. It prefers an aquarium with live rock so that it can graze on algae. The Lettuce Sea Slug incorporates the chloroplasts (the portions of the cell responsible for photosynthesis) from the algae into its tissues, and thus relies on photosynthesis (light) for part of its energy.

Berghia Nudibranch This is the Aptasia Eating Nudibranch Description:Berghia Nudibranch's are a Orange when they have eaten lately. They pick up the color from the aptasia. They turn white when they have not eaten for 5 to 7 days and need to eat. Berghia Nudibranches grow to around 1-1/2 to 2 inches at full length and should be kept in an aquarium of at least 10 gallons in size to provide plenty of swimming and living room for these sea slugs. Berghia Nudibranches are peaceful members of the aquarium and should not be kept with more aggressive species that may attack and harm it. Place this Nudibranch with other peaceful aquarium mates for best results. How Many Berghia do I need The rule of thumb is 1 Berghia per 10 gallons. Therefore, we recommend at least 10 Berghia per 100 gallons of water for a moderate to heavy aiptasia problem (50-100 aiptasia per 100 gallons). Getting the right number is important. You want to have enough Berghia in your tank so they can find each other to mate and lay eggs. The eggs may hatch and continue to populate the tank until the aiptasia are gone. Very heavy aiptasia outbreaks may require even more berghia. Food and diet:Berghia nudibranchs eat ONLY aiptasia anemones. Reef Compatibility:Very good Approximate Purchase Size: 3/4" to 1" Note: Berghia Nudibranches can be a bit difficult to care for and should only be kept by the experienced aquarium owner. Once placed in a reef tank, the hobbyist is unlikely to see the berghia again. A dwindling aiptasia population should be witnessed however. This item does not carry our livestock guarantee.

Description:The Sea Hare is actually a marine slug that gets its name from its oral tentacles, which give it the look of a rabbit, hence its common name.The body of the Sea Hare is a combination of speckles and patterns. This odd looking herbivore is very good at removing problem hair algae in an aquarium, but the tank owner must be prepared with live macro algae or dried seaweed when all of the hair algae in the tank has been consumed. Generally more than one Sea Hare per tank is not nescessary unless dealing with a very large tank. For optimum health provide an aquarium with live rock and open sandy areas to burrow in. A Sea Hare when startled may release a purple dye that is toxic to repel attacking fish. In the home aquarium, the aquarium filter system must be operating in good condition to remove this dye. Otherwise it may harm inhabitants. Due to variations within species, your item may not look identical to the image provided. Food and diet:regular feedings of Algae are not possible, it will need a supplemented diet of parboiled lettuce or dried sea weed. Reef Compatibility:Very good Level of Care: Moderate.
