nudibranches most of them is hard to kept. but if it start eating, then can be easy to maintain. keep nudibranches away from ur powerhead, very easy to die. i also not very sure what to give it eats. mostly they will eat algae inside the aqua. i think u get more research on it and wait for other expert to answer ur question. may i know what type is ur nudibranch?? blue dragon?? have pic???

I haven't bought any nudibranches yet. I saw them in a local fish shop (would that be short for LFS?) and they have plenty of colorful ones. don't know the specie.. i'm still searching for their specie name on the net. but i'm most probably gonna get one with orange/yellow frills on the bottom with blue and white stripe on the body.

in aus, i pretty sure that there is a lot of pretty colourful nudibranch and some of them not found in malaysia. beside, a lot of coral at australia also, right??

I know there are alots of LFS here in Melbourne which I haven't been to yet.. I've seen lots of different corals and nudibranches.. but they're damn expensive.

We've only started this marine tank for 1.5 months and it's getting very addictive...and very expensive too. haha Our 2' marine tank is only up and running for 1.5 months, and we're now thinking of selling our 3' african cichlids tank for a new marine collection! hehe

Do you guys have many tanks or fish collections?
