I have them in stock all the time. PM before you come up, I'll make sure we keep a few off them.

You see that is the thing. They seem to eat flatworm only and nothing else (in our tanks anyway). So if you see your flatworm is gone from your tank, you should pass on the nudi to other reefers or to your LFS.

Most nudibranchs are obligate eaters, being that they eat one thing and one thing only. Blue velvets eat only one thing: flatworms. When you watch them you will realize how specialized they are for his task with a head designed to detect them and a mouth like a straw that they one to literally vacuum up the flatworm. There is nothing more fun than watching one mow a path through a patch of FW. Ok, maybe there is but it's still fun.

I had flat worms once and used a spotted mandarin to eliminate them.

I kid you not... ELIMINATE. The mandarin took about 2 weeks but I never saw a single flat worm again.... 3 years later.

I know your tank is small.... but you could start with the small tank and then transplant your mandarin into the display.... unless of course he ended up food for the others.

Food for thought.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
