![]() Fast mover? Nudibranchs are typically slow movers but bristle type worms can be lightning fast. Maybe the feathers are bristle like hairs?

![]() If it is a nudibranch you should be able to find it by spending a few hours sifting through the species list on this website. http://www.seaslugforum.net/ ...thats if you really want to know.

![]() Thanks for all the help. My friend came over today and I tried explaining it. Still no real idea what it is, but he says its not bad.
Its very slow moving indeed, so im going to say its a nudibranch. As for the list of nudibranchs tho... Thats the biggest list alive hahahaha. |

![]() You could also try doing a google image search for 'nudibranch', you many then be able to find one that looks like yours with a name attached. However even with a proper latin name most sources wont know much about them. In general they live less than one year and the majority of tanks dont have sufficient food for any of them. So they will actually just disapear and die somewhere long before old age gets them.

![]() Keep an eye on it. Nudibranchs are predatory and typically only feed on one or two things, and its usually something expensive. If it's surviving in your tank it's eating something... just firgure out what. Also, they can spawn asexually... so if it is bad you can end up with a lot of them real quick and they'll do some damage.
That being said, enjoy it. They are my favourite sea creatures! Some of the cool looking nudi's are hard to keep alive, so if he's surviving (and not destroying something) take care of him! |
