Nudibranches

Are nudibranches suitable to put in a marine tank,

A standard marine aquarium, sure,that’s fine, it’s quality algae,soft corals and to some degree hard corals that are at risk by nudibranchs.

Its up to you as there are other issues with them, they block holes or mesh and can be sucked into pumps and then the toxins with them will pollute your aquarium.

The majority of nudibranchs eat coral-meat and then you have the herbivores that will wipe out your algae and I mean caulerpa algae not the rubbish algae.

A dedicate tank for them is a beautiful thing to see, just not a coral rich aquarium, it doesn’t work.

They are not reef safe at all!

Hi, does anyone know much about bubble shell snails, are they ok in marine tank or better to stay away from them

This is our local bubble shell,the last clean up life form in the thread.

Good addition to a matured aquarium that has some room to move around to fossick for varied algae to consume.

They live exactly the same and feed the same as a biscuit sea star, I went with one of them in my reef tank, no one chews on it.

Varied algae,some sponges,temps no greater than 25c and you should be right,if they don’t get chewed on or sucked into a pump or exit hole,lol.

Personaly i think they are a beautiful creature,very weak though!
