Found this guy today on my liverock. I have not found anything online about it. Thanks in advance.
I need to crop the picture. I'll post it soon

Here it is

Can't be sure. But best guess.. Acanthodoris lutea

 

[mikienhecker]

I think thats it. Looks like mine might be a baby. Mines 1/4 inch.

Nicknamed orange peel. They eat bryozoa and do not appear to be a danger to coral or fish. Bryozoa are tiny filter feeders. Commonly called "moss animals". Not sure it will have enough to eat in a tank. But really cool lookin. :-D

I got it from the carribean. So its not exactly that but it is simmilar enough to assume it eats the same thing. It looks just like the breadcrumb sponges i have in my tank. What are the chances that it eats them?

 

[mikienhecker]

Maybe what im calling breadcrumb sponge is actually bryozoa.

 

[Wiz]

Sponges are filter feeders. Maybe. Why not. Keep me updated on his behavior. He looks really cool orange is an awsome color in the reef. Not very common.

 

[mikienhecker]

Nope it was breadcrumb sponge. And i found it. It is a Geitodoris Pusae

 

[Wiz]

Yup looks that way. Pretty similar. And eats sponge of various types. I'm not sure what a breadcrumb sponge is. Got a pic? Good find. Still think its sweet. Lol

 

[mikienhecker]

These are my breadcrumb sponges. My lights are off for the night but i can get better pics tommorow if you want. They are disapearing pretty fast. I hope that my nudi dosnt eat them.

 

[Wiz]

Cool nice color. Would love to see a day pic if you get time.

 

[mikienhecker]

[Wiz]
