GL with that nudibranch. Hypselodoris apolegma, from my understanding is extremely had to keep due to relying on sponges to eat and not just any sponge, a specific species at that. Seems like alot of LFS's have been telling customers that they will eat algae but the rule of thumb with these nudibranchs is to stay away from them due to specific requirements

Imo its sad to see these guys in the hobby because of the high death rate. to me its just a way to make money. even more fussy than harliquin shrimp

Your live rock looks cool. Love how those rocks naturally slope like that. Have fun with the build and keep the pics rolling!

That's a great looking tank you have there! Keep updating so we can see how it progresses.:biggrin:

Nice tank and a good start. You'll want to put that tank on a proper stand in the near future to even out the pressure on your tank.

Last night i got a few new pieces and I spent way too much time re-arranging my rock. Pics will be up shortly.

Looking good. One question though. What did your local fish store tell you to feed your purple sea slug (nudibranch) ? :neutral:

They told me it ate like a snail...It would eat algae ans micro organisms.
