Nudibranchs... any hearty ones?

[opazen]

Every once in a while the store has those pink nudibranchs with the yellow feather lookin things and I wonder if I should purchase one for my reef tank. They are beautiful but i wonder if they will live long enough for me to enjoy? All responses are helpfull

as a rule alot of the most colorful of the nudies are cold water specimens and they love to eat on corals. They are not a very hardy specimen. if i were you i would do alot of homework on the ones your lfs carry anf then after you learn their water needs and their diet you may find one you want i have never had much luck with them.
