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.
This is one of the hardiest of all the nudibranch we have worked
with.
Food and
diet:If regular feedings
of Algae are not possible, it will need a supplemented diet with
algae sheets laced in the aquarium with an algae clip or rubberbanded
to a rock. This is a Restricted item since it may be killed by
getting sucked into pumps or powerheads. Therefore it does have
an arrive alive guarantee, but is not covered by our normal extended
Guarantee. We recommend sponge or screen covers be placed on
dangers to avoid nudibranchs from being sucked in.It is also sensitive
to high levels of nitrate and will not tolerate copper-based
medications. |

Does Your Reef Tank have Flatworms
(Planaria)?
Velvet Nudibranch
Chelidonura varians

The
best method of getting rid of those pesky flat worms!
|
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. This
is a Restricted item since it may be killed by getting sucked
into pumps or powerheads. Therefore it does have an arrive alive
guarantee, but is not covered by our 7 Day Guarantee. We recommend
sponge or screen covers be placed on dangers to avoid nudibranchs
from being sucked in.It
is also sensitive to high levels of nitrate and will not tolerate
copper-based medications. |

Dwarf
Sea Hare

A Terrific Cleanup
Crew Member
An Algae Eating Machine!
Description:The body of the Dwarf Sea Hare is a combination
of speckles and patterns. The location of its rhinophores (organ
used to smell) and its oral tentacles make it look like a rabbit,
hence its common name. Sea hares are of interest to aquarists, because
they are among the few species that tend to feed on those highly
distasteful nuisance algaes that are avoided by the majority
of the animals in our aquaria. These algae eating machines are
totally reef safe and terrific for all algae control including
slime algea and that bothersome green hair and algae! In the wild, it is usually found in shallow
areas of seagrasses and coral rubble. It prefers an aquarium
with live rock and open sandy areas so that it can graze on algae,
eating both red slime and other nuisince algaes in the tank.
Like all invertebrates, it is sensitive to high levels of copper-based
medications and will not tolerate bad water conditions (high
nitrates).
Food and
diet:If regular feedings
of Algae are not possible, it will need a supplemented diet with
algae sheets laced in the aquarium with an algae clip or rubberbanded
to a rock. This is a Restricted item since it may be killed by

Spotted
Lettuce Nudibranch

Eats green and brown
algae found on corals, glass, sand and rock
Description:The Lettuce Sea Slug
is an unusual and entertaining addition to the reef aquarium.
It has highly folded parapodia (side appendages), which give
it a ruffled appearance similar to lettuce. The coloration of
the Lettuce Sea Slug generally ranges from green, yellow, or
brown. 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. This is a
Restricted item since it may be killed by getting sucked into
pumps or powerheads. Therefore it does have an arrive alive guarantee,
but is not covered by our 7 Day Guarantee. We recommend sponge
or screen covers be placed on dangers to avoid nudibranchs from
being sucked in.It
is also sensitive to high levels of nitrate and will not tolerate
copper-based medications.

Blue
Dot Sea Hare

A Terrific Cleanup
Crew Member
Loves to Eat Hair Algae!
Description:This unusual sea hare is rarely found
in the aquarium trade. It has a dark brown or green body with
bright blue spots across its surface. It has the two frilly rabbit-ear-like
appendages that earn this group of nudibrachs their name. Sea
hares are excellent algae eaters and will eat lots of algae in
the aquarium.
Food and
diet:If regular feedings
of Algae are not possible, it will need a supplemented diet with
algae sheets laced in the aquarium with an algae clip or rubberbanded
to a rock. This is a Restricted item since it may be killed by

Orange and White
Berghia Nudibranch

This is the Aptasia
Eating Nudibranch
Description:Berghia Nudibranch's are a Brownish/Orange
when they have eaten lately. They pick up the color from the
aptasia. They are white when they have not eaten for 5 to 7 days.
Berghia Nudibranches grow to around 1-1/2 to 2 inches at full
length and should be kept in an aquarium of at least 30 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. They grow to be only one inch
long, they are reef friendly and can be raised in aquaria. If
you have Aptasia then you can't go wrong with these little guys.
Please be aware though that when they have finished eating all
of the Aptasia in your tank they will starve to death so pass
them on to someone else who has a need for them or give/sell
them to your LFS.
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.
