Nudibranch sucked into wave maker

[t-roy]

My nidi got sucked into a wave maker last weekend and it’s still alive. Will it grow its body back?

Is the second picture just its’ head?!

Title sounds

Yes, just the head. It still slowly moves around the tank rock and glass. Really weird.

1: thats technically not a nudibranch, lettuce slugs are considered something else but close relatives to nudibranches.

2: regardless of 1, both nudibranchs and sacoglossans are capable of full new body regeneration as long as the head remains. There's been numerous studies for both on their regeneration capabilities even if they lose their heart. 1 was pointed out incase you want to go reading into those studies you'd want to look for eylsia sacoglossans to learn about lettuce slugs.

What an experience that would be. How much leave could I take for work for that? And would it solve all my lower body ailments because if so I might be interested.
