i have one. they dont really look like they are doing much, but they really are. i got mine because my snails stay mainly on the glass and i needed something that would graze on the rocks. he did a great job. my rocks are mostly algea free and he stays on the glass now with the snails.

I can't find any Nudibranchs on SWF.com, anyone know of any good purchasing/info sites. I'd love to get an algae chomper that won't die as soon as flips over.
For jonthefb, the only site I've found that sells these guys is http://www.***********.com/product/p...=23&pCatId=724

I found some suppliers of Nudibranches:
www.***********.com
-nice pictures, 4 different types, pretty much same text decription of each, includes 'spanish dancer'
www.reeftopia.com
-nice pictures, include lettuce nudibranches in some of their algae control packages, one algae control package is 4 nudibranches (which seems to be the best price I saw)
www.aquatictech.com
-sells an 'aiptesia eating nudibranch', no pictures
www.exoticfish.com
-listed in livestock, no pictures
Let me know if you try one, they are beautiful!

Lettuce nudies are awesome algea grzers.... If you want to enhance their color feed them a variety of algea flakes as well as the hair algea they love... There are those that would dispute this claim but I have seen really boring looking lettuce nudies change color combinations as their diet changes... and the change can be really significant.
The down side of these little guys is that if your algea is under control they will starve to death faster than you think... and they also have a wierd attraction to PH's and overflows wich ultimately means they become nudie-mulch. I have had three and none have lasted longer than 6 months... sooner or later 1 figures out how to bypass all my sponge filters or a snail knocks off the protective measures on my PH's... maybe they are jealouse and set up the nudie for death... or maybe my lettuce nudie's were just retarded.
