A LFS near me is advertising that they are getting nudibranches and that they eat flatworms. I was under the impression they eat aiptasia and only aiptasia. I was just wondering if they are providing correct info.

Berghia nudibranch only eat aiptasia. Another nudibranch very well could eat flatworms. There's only about 4,000 different nudibranchs. What they all eat is still not known for most of them. Keep us informed.

That's what I thought.

Here is their quote "Hurray, on their way!!..... Berghia Nudibranch
Eats flatworms!

Stay tuned......"

Nudibranch's are very specific eaters. Each has one thing they eat (for the most part). So, only aips for those guys.
