I have a tank setup solely for aiptaisa production if I ever get all my aptasias in my reef taken care of. Right now I am raising the aiptasia in jars in a closet, this produces many small aiptasia that are perfect for newly born nudis. A trigger would definitely eat nudibranchs, maybe not the berghia as they use the stinging cells of the aiptasia for protection. Probably would be best to cycle your rocks through a tank that had many berghia nudibranches.
I am pretty sure that a ribbon eel would eat a blenny, but I guess it would depend on the size of the 2...

Will a trigger eat it? I�m also planning on buying a lawnmower blenny but i�n not sure if my blue ribbon eel will eat it. Once, i introduced 2 clowns and that eel ate them both, so i don�t wanna end up buying such an expensive meal again.

Know one knows what they eat but I can assure you it is not microalgae. More likely some type of sponge or gorgonian. Anyway, the only nudibranchs that I have had great success with are the berghia nudibranchs. I have a pair that breed regularly and they are very beautiful, not as colorful as some but still pretty. The main reason to have them: they eat aipstasia, they use their antennae to "tap" the anemone until it retracts and then they eat it whole. If the aiptasia is large, multiple nudis will attack from the base until it is gone...

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?
