looks like a pretty cool nudi if you ask me. how big is it? I have never heard of fish a eating nudibranch before. as mentioned the vast majority of them feed on hydroids, coral, sponge, tunicate or a mix of the above. the big grabby hand thing (i like your description ) would be its gill. my bet is that your dead fish were eaten by hermits and fish. that or just lost in your rockwork somewhere

I would tend to agree with Justin & the others. Look at your hermits & clean up crew as the cause behind those "disappearances" since that is their job after all. (to scavenge)

Default He's goin back in

Thanks for all the info, I am going to put this guy back into my tank as I really can't see how he could eat fish. He is quite interesting to look at, wonder if I'll see him again. If the slug website identifies him I'll let you know what he really is.

be careful with nudibranches. Many of them are highly toxic when they die. Could kill your tank if/when it dies.
