Hi,
I just sat down with a cup of coffee and surveyed my tank after a hard days work. I noticed that under one of the overhangs was a waving piece of debris. ( must get that out I thought) I looked closer and it resembled some small clove polyps I have in the tank. (only slightly different) Sat back down and took another sip of coffee, then the bloomin thing moved along the rock. Crikey a Nudibranch, get the thing out of there was my first thought. So I managed to get it into a net and placed the slug in the sump/refugium, where it is residing presently until you the membership decide its fate. I ve no idea how something that size escaped my notice.
Questions
*Are these organisms dangerous to my system in regards to corals and any other inhabitants I have.
*Should it even be given house room in the sump.
*Is it fine and I'm overreacting and should give it pride and place in the main aquarium ecosystem.
*Whats its primary diet
*What size do they grow (probably a stupid question not knowing the species involved)
Please advise.
Regards
BigC
