Title: RE: Nudibranch

Arturo:

The brown algae is probably due to the water that i add when performing water changes, I will start buying demineralized water because all the water around here is awful, even do i add bottled water.

The nudi is very easy to identify, it�s probably the most common nudi on stores, purple with yellow, i�m just unsure if nudis have a very low survival rate in tank and are one of those species that should be better left at the sea.

Go for both of them ! I have a lawnmower blenny and turbo snails and they are fat and happy. Both will help you with the brown algae, but be carefull, brown algae indicates that you have excess of nutriens. I recommend verify your parameters.

About the Nudis, I am not an expert, but I can tell you that some are reef safe like berghias that eat aptasias and the lettuce ( i forgot if it is the correct name) that eats algae. The others, primary feed on nematocites of the anemones.

Correct me If I am grong please.......

BTW. Can somebody email me my ascii signature? I lost all my hard drive and it will take me some time if I create it again.... TIA.

All, I saw yesterday a purple and yellow nudibranch at my lfs, they told me
that nudibranchs eat micro algae and that no special care is needed for them
to thrive.
Is this true? has anybody had experience with nudibranchs? or should I just
let him at the lfs?
Also they have turbo snails and lawnmower blennies, and i�m undecided on
which to go so they can eat my brown algae in the back glass of my tank.
Any comment?
Marco
