Sounds to me like a Hypselodoris bullockii. Know one knows what they eat
but I can assure you it is not microalgae. More likely some type of sponge
or gorgonian. Anyway, the only nudibranchs that I have had great success
with are the berghia nudibranchs. I have a pair that breed regularly and
they are very beautiful, not as colorful as some but still pretty. The main
reason to have them: they eat aipstasia, they use their antennae to "tap"
the anemone until it retracts and then they eat it whole. If the aiptasia
is large, multiple nudis will attack from the base until it is gone...

All, I saw yesterday a purple and yellow nudibranch at my lfs, they told me
that nudibranchs eat micro algae and that no special care is needed for them
to thrive.
Is this true? has anybody had experience with nudibranchs? or should I just
let him at the lfs?
Also they have turbo snails and lawnmower blennies, and i�m undecided on
which to go so they can eat my brown algae in the back glass of my tank.
Any comment?
Marco
