A home for a slug

[wading-for-fish]

I was wondering if any one has ever made a species tank for sea slugs? I know of some really pretty nudibranchs that you can find on http://www.aquacon.com/seaslugs.html
If anyone knows anything about them, or if you have one your self I would love to see it. I don't think I'm going to set up any more tanks. I'm just curious

They are part of the ocean's CUC, each type feeds certain types of algae, sea bug, or whatever, they keep the ecosystem balanced...when all are busy doing their thing, the world is a better place, but in our tanks they usually starve.

Your right. I did some more research and found that most of the the nudibranchs only eat certain types of sponges. I guess they are best left in the wild

Example: There is a nudibranch the feeds only on flat worms and it's beautiful. Sometimes we may have a problem, and selecting the right invert will keep things balanced in the tank. So it isn't really that they should stay in the ocean, but that we have enough of what they need to survive on.
