Would a nudibranch, be a smart addition to my 32gal, what will be a mixed reef. How easy are they to care for, do you have to feed them anything special. I am not having much luck finding info on them. They look pretty cool.
I now have 2 false perc's, few zebra hermits, tuxedo eurchant, dragon goby, and some zoo's, Tank is about 10 months old.
Planning to add a coral beauty and some assoted coral after lighting upgade.

Nudibranches do not live very long, and about the only one that has any kind of decent lifespan in captivity is the lettuce.
... :thinking: I can't say I'd be 100% confident in placing one in a 32 gallon. It might not be able to find enough to eat. But I could be dead wrong. I'm not a fan of them myself.

with nudi's you have to be very careful!!
most of them that are bright colored and look terrific and would love to have in the tank have specialized diets that we cant offer in our tanks so they starve. as mentioned the lettuce nudi are alright but you have to cover all intakes. and the feed on algae but I havent had good sucess with them either.

I've had a lettuce in my tank for 2 months. He is pretty cool, but doesn't do much for algae control..he is in a 55 reef.
