The Saltwater Lettuce Nudibranch is an excellent ELIMINATOR of Hair Algae- however since that is all it eats, it will die if there is not any hair algae for it to eat!
The side appendages called parapodia are highly folded giving the nudibranch a ruffled appearance. It is also known as the Lettuce Sea Slug.
When adding to your tank - Please remember - this guy is little and light as a feather - after following the acclimation instructions included with your shipment, please place the nudibranch into the area of hair algae. Do NOT simply think you can allow him to float and find his way to the trouble spot - he is way to small and will die of starvation before he makes it half way across your tank. He was conceived in hair algae, born in the hair algae and will die in the hair algae. Help the little guy out by placing him where he belongs - in the hair algae!!
Please purchase conservatively.

Love these little nudibranches! |
|
I received mine today - they are adorable! Now, they are light as a feather, so I placed them (grasping them gently) on the hair algae and they quickly attached and are munching away. Highly recommended! |

Lettuce Nudibranch vs. Bryopsis |
|
You will not find a better deal than this on these lettuce nudibranchs anywhere else! These are the ONLY animal I have found that will eat Bryopsis. These slugs from R2G are very hardy too. |

These are great. I have 4 in my 75 gallon. They are good size. They can clean out paths of hair algea vey well. They move slow but look cool moving around and on the glass. I would definately get them again. |
