(Adult size)
I start to not trust him whit sexy shrimp and smaller.
So anything bigger then sexy shrimp is good.

I have, Porcelain crab, pitho crab, Emmerald crab,
cleaner shrimp. All good

Pod's are almost inexistant in that tank lol
Great hunter!

Sand and cover needed.

I have a H. Leucoxanthus in 24x24x18 for 2 years now.
"If they eat" zoa nudibranch (probably, but i don't know)

i suggest H. Leucoxanthus or H. chrysus.
Both peaceful... unlike damsel.
But need confirmation if they eat those nudi.

I have a leucoxanthus and a Springeri Damsel in my tank. I had a second Springeri at one point. Both Springer's and the leucoxanthus are peaceful.

My leucoxanthus eats Trochus snails if they get flipped over occasionally. Hermits are still alive after almost 2 years with him. I have Nassarius, Nerite, Cerith, Trochus, Turbo, and Astrea snails plus red leg, blue leg, Halloween, and Scarlett hermits. I also had a Peppermint shrimp for around 18 months.

As @Patx said though, with any fish it's "if they eat them". Most will readily go after flatworms. Nudis are a little different both because they mostly are nocturnal and because they are brightly colored which can be scary looking to fish.

I quickly read up all those years on Damzel "in general" and put them all in the same buket, like the 6-line wrass etc...
If these Damsel are Peaceful, I think in terms of size they're better suited for a 45g tank.
I find that okay for H. leucoxanthus but a bit borderline.

Would you consider selling a few of them? I’ve been wanting to my hands on some.

Otherwise, I’ve had luck using peppermint shrimp as predators of similar nudibranchs.
