For your viewing pleasure…a chalice eating a berghia nudibranch!

[VintageReefer]

Walked by my tank and saw my chalice caught and was attempting to eat a berghia nudibranch! I thought it would release it and came back a half hour later and it had more of the nudibranch sucked in the mouth !

I was like oh no you don’t that’s like 15$ and eats my aiptasia lol. Grabbed my baster and sucked it out and it survived!

Turns out an aiptasia was on my frag shelf and the nudibranch was taking a shortcut to get to it. I placed it nearby and now he’s happy eating the aiptasia

Love those little mini-brittles, some of the best CUC, especially for detritus.

Used to have a ton of them in a previous tank, but at some point I lost them. And then, randomly, discovered one of them living underneath an abandoned, corallined-over frag plug. No idea where it came from, but I escorted it over to a rock so it could start cloning itself.
