before i post the link to my website i want to make sure im allowed to put in a link. Anyway i got this nudibranch on my lr and dont know what kind it its. Its all yellow abot 1 inch and has orange red in the middle (from its inside)

Most nudibranchs eat only one exact food, usually a sponge or coral. The bright colored ones especially. It doesn't really matter what exact kind it is because it will starve in a week or two. Enjoy it while you have it.

You sure it's a nudi? It's round like a limpet, well, from the pic it looks round.

They are limpets. I have them too in both of my tanks...they start with the orange fleshy stuff then it will go almost clear/white and you will see the shell forming more...then it will lose it all together and just leave the shell...they spread pretty fast too... kinda cool...I had one wit maidens hair growing on it for a while! neat little snails

so its not going to di right? I really like having it because its so darn cool!

naw...they are hard little guys ti kill! I moved them directly from tank to tank with out acclimating before with no problems...and think...they are hitchhikers on live rock so they are usually out of water for days...weeks at a time!
