Nudibranchs

[crossan]

I read on {EDIT} that you should not put seahorses with nudibranches. Has anyone ever tried it? That was my original plan to put in so they can use them as hitching posts.

 

[crossan]

sorry, I kep getting them confused with gorgonians, sorry. Ignore this.

[crossan]

[monalisa]

From what I've heard, yeah, gorgs are fine...hope so, mine just got switched from my reef.

Gorgonias will not harm the seahorses, nor vise verse.
What lighting do gorgs require?

 

[rykna]

Low lighting. I have 3 corky finger gorgonians in my horse tank. They do require DTS for lunch, but grow like weeds and was a favorite hitching post for Valiant.

There are several gorgonians that are SHT safe. If I can find my list I'll post them.....

Sorry, a nudibranch is a slug-like animal, yes?
Not likely for a seahorse to hitch to one.
I think they are also toxic skinned? Maybe not a good idea, anyway, if that is the case.

gorgonian I will use then
