Flatworm eating Nudibranch pic
Hi everyone. My wife and I had about 30 reefers over today for a BBQ, frag exchange, and to split up an order pool. We had a great time. I picked up a about ten coral frags, and a Midas blenny along with this Varians species sea slug. I just had to post this photo because it is one of the best pictures that I have taken with my new Coolpix 995 camera. This guy is about 1 cm in length. We watched him devour four flatworms within seconds of being placed in the tank. This thing is awsome.
Just wanted to share, Andrew

Excellent Picture!
How has it been doing with the flatworms? Are flatworms it's main source of nutrition?

Well. This story has a bad ending. I got it from FFexpress. It started eating the flatworms the minute we put it in the tank. The next day it was still eating them. Than later that afternoon one of my blue leg hermits sprinted across the tank and killed it before I could stop the hermit. A beautiful $30 dollar creature was killed by a $0.99 hermit. Needless to say our reef will soon be hermitless and we will try again.
Andrew
