Default Flatworm eating Nudibranchs -Chelidonura varians
Has anyone ever seen this Nudibranch;Chelidonura varians for sale in B.C.??? It is also called a Blue Velvet Nudibranch. I am in need of some, but the hitch is they ONLY eat flatworms so then will be lending them out....if you have seen some let me know. There was a guy in Ontario that got some in but they sold out very quickly..... here's a pic.

very hard to come by - i was looking afor one back when my tank was infested with flatworms. I have some in my tank now but not in such of an infestation proportions yet so I'll wait. They do look cool and apparently eat flatworms like tangs eating nori.

But what do they eat when the flatworms are gone?

They starve, kind of like the predicament with sea hares, except you can't supplement their diet, you just send them off to the next happy customer.

Hey Sarah,

I get those in from time to time, and can let you know the next time I have one.

Cheers...

As mentioned...they will starve if not getting flatworms...they MUST eat flatworms so once I have dealt with the nasty flatworm infestation in my Mom's tank I will most likely be passing them around on a "rental" as I am sure that I will have flatworms again with the amount of tanks I have!!!!
