None that I can think of. I've tried 4 Blue Velvet nudibranches and they are very very cool, however just get yourself some flatworm exit, and be done with it.

hey richie1742 are you maxed out on your fish? I just recently added a sixline to my tank for worms and he's mowing them rascals, looks like he's going to explode his belly is so full. neat swimmer also.
just a thought! -sawsman

richie1742, Im assuming you have a case of the "red" flatworms, if so and there's alot of them then you may want to consider the flatworm exit like Thomas suggested.
as for my case they're not that bad yet and I thought that a more natural approach with the sixline might be worth a try.

okay heres what you do. Go to google search nudibranch foods. A link will come up that lists every species of nudibranch ever and every food each one eats. I use this in the lab were i study nudibranchs at UCD.

There is a "Cabbage Nudibranch" for sale at the lfs for only $14 and I want it badly! Any word on this specific nudibranch? It is a lime/neon green and has cabbage-looking dorsal projections.
What are the life spans on a nudibranch? For some reason I am thinking that they dont live too long. What would it eat? Would it tolerate temps of 80-84 degrees?

This is commonly known as a "lettuce nudibranch." I would say you could get it, just make sure any intakes are covered, as they can get sucked up and die. I think these kinds live about 3-4 years. Pretty long for a nudibranch! As long as your temp is steady at 80-84 I would say they'd be fine.
