So remember this guy that came in on my LR?

Yep I am almost certain that this is the egg layer. I was staring at my tank as usual today and I saw a tiny nudibranch that looked identical to this one! It was maybe a 3mm long. Then I saw another one on a rock a second later! I really think this guy is having babies! how cool is that? They slither around all day eating algae off the rocks and possibly detritus. :)

I saw the "mama" nudibranch today on my glass eat a brown flatworm :hmm4: she sucked it in like a vacuum! no wonder they haven't reached plague proportions!
