 Topic: Yet another ID question
Posted: February 14 2004 at 12:45am |
I found this on my LR the other day. It took me a long time to get this picture. I had a better picture, but that file is corrupted somehow.
Does anyone have an idea what this is? I found another one (Identical twin) today. I know it is not the same one 'cause I saw two today at the same time. Am I going to see four tomorrow and eight the next day? I believe they belong to the order of Nudibranchia suborder Arminina, subfamily Zephyrinidae.
Anyone else take a guess? And, should I throw in the sump, throw it in my aggressive tank, throw it away, or keep it in my main tank?

Just to clarify. You say there are moving like a sea slug. About what size are they?

They are both about a 1/2" wide and maybe an 1 1/4 long when they are moving. They are actually kind of a bright pink and they have clear "antanae". When one was on the glass I could not see a mouth on the underside.
I actually think they're kinda cool looking , but am afraid they might die and poison the whole tank like some nudibranch can!

At that size they can cause little harm dead or alive. Most organisms are useful in one way or another. I say keep 'um and enjoy 'um.

Thanks again Jake!
Mark, yeah I'll enjoy 'em! Hopefully they won't get to be very big! Thanks for the input!
