I had a 35 hex as my first tank. It was a fun tank but it was tough to aquascape and light. Looks like youve managed to figure it out. everything looks super healthy! nice job.

'Caesar' the Salad Lettuce Nudibranch? A very fitting name!

Very nice, I love Nudibranch. Just be careful he doesn't get sucked into a power head or anything. They tend to wander into things they shouldn't and turn into shredded lettuce.

BTW, nice looking tank.

Ahh I deff don't want shredded lettuce!!! He dosen't do very well climbing up smooth surfaces.. so i dont think he'll get on the glass to the filter or powerhead. (unless he rides the turbo snails like he was doing tonight lol) I'll watch him.. i just gotta make sure he's eating.. I guess they only eat certain algae(Bryopsis)... and i dont have crazy algae in my tank.. so im gonna try growing algae in a separate tank and feeding him fresh algae in a water bottle cap like a dog.. lol i dont want it spreading in my tank tho... any suggestions on feeding him the Bryopsis without it spreading in my tank? lol

 

[walzy444]

Here he is riding the snails

Hes got a fat lil belly!

Be careful they starve to death quickly if you don't have the food they need on your tank

 

[jtmac]

I didnt have mine long before he became a salad!! I miss him

 

[walzy444]

aw hes smiling

+1 on watching out for powerheads. They have no problem with crawling on glass.
Nice tank.

 

[walzy444]

Yeah at first he looked like he couldn't stick to the glass, then last night he was cruising around. He's back on the rocks tho.
Anyone have suggestions about feeding him that bryopsis algea without it spreading in my tank?

 

[jtmac]

aw hes smiling

Not for long he wasnt! Good luck with him!

 

[walzy444]

Sooo the other day i found him all stuck and half sucked up the filter tube.. i freaked out and shut it off thinking he was dead.. He was holding onto the glass by just his mouth! then all of a sudden, he puffed back up and crawled away like nothing happened... also, I dono what happened but he is missing an antenna thing on his head now..
Well tonight, he/she laid eggs! So im excited!

 

[George]

Congratulations on the eggs. From what I've read, there's a good chance of survival. Also seems like the adult dies shortly after laying eggs. There's information at this site.

I'd love to have one of those.. just don't think my tank can support one. Maybe when I get the large (125) display up and well established. So all they eat is Bryopsis?
