That would be great thanks!

Bad news huh?

You can always eat it! From what I just read they're pretty popular!!!

Doesn't this one look totally different? It's also an Elysia sp. The folds are there, it's just hard to see them. I'm going to have to mess with it, to show it better.

Most of the pictures in the guide were confirmed (or ID'd primarily) experts. Not advanced hobbyists, but people "schooled" in their different areas. It's not me who ID'd most of those..... far FAR from it. I am not an expert.... I just chase around hitchhikers, is all.

 

[Lionfish Lair]

I'd like to have some, actually.

Whelks or Elysia sp.?

O.O Sorry! I missed the snail picture all together! Now Karma is going to send me a load of whelks.

 

[drstratton]

So, do you think this is safe to release into my tank? I don't have Caulerpa, so it would probably just starve unless they also eat other algae!

 

[Lionfish Lair]

I'm pretty sure he'll starve, but I would put him back in and enjoy.

Sad, twilliard might come get it tomorrow, he might have Caulerpa. I'll ask him!

Do you think He's gunna be confused when we tell him he has to feed it and give it a good home instead of sizzling it like he planned in his lab?

Im sure he'll understand and give in but.....

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

I had this one. Softie eater I believe. Put him in a 28g mostly SPS tank. Left a Xenia for him. I think they eat a lot more than corals and we can't replicate that.

He slowly paled out over time. I took him out so the herb garden.
Sorry for the sloppy watermark.

We can only do the best we can. Sounds like you gave it a good try!
