Lettuce Nudibranch

Beau is hosting the January Meeting this coming Saturday the 14th at 6PM.  It will be BYOB as well as a snack to share and raffle items are always welcome.  It has been requested that there be “NO SHOES” on the carpet due to it being a whitish color.

He doesn’t have a tank to view but we will have plenty to discuss in hopes that it will get the NEW YEAR off to a good start.  The annual membership fees are due, so now would be a good time to get them in to our Treasurer Stacey Hahn.   Fees are $20 per individual or $25 per family

Attendance was low at the election meeting in November and no votes were taken at December’s meeting so we have decided to take votes for anyone that didn’t get the opportunity in November and will be attending this meeting.  
We will add the votes to November’s ballots and the announcement will be made during the meeting so we can go forward.
NOMINATIONS:
President:  Jim & Nacho
V. President: Ed, Bo & Daniel Leigey
Treasurer: Stacey
Secretary: Carmen & Angie

Let’s hope the New Year brings new members, returning members and new ideas.  The club is always willing to take suggestions to get the most out of the hobby we all enjoy.

What do you guys know about lettuce nudibranchs? Are there any risks/downsides to having them in a tank?  I have some macro algae that is getting kindof obnoxious, so I was hoping to get rid of it with a lettuce nudi.  I have a firefish and peppermint shrimp currently, but I plan on getting a pair of clowns and a pair of neon gobies eventually.  Will they harm the nudibranch if I got one?

Probably won't have to worry, but in my experience nudi's don't last very long.  You would be better to go with some goldens or turbos, I think they will do a better job.

John is right, the nudibranchs do not usually last long.  And most of the time the lettuce species eat hair algae, not sure how they would do on macro.  I would just pull the macro like pulling weeds.

I have to agree with Rick and John. I actually bought one and put it my tank....never to be seen again!

[Nate C.]

Colleen and I have had decent luck with the nudi's.  This was for hair algae though, and after that was gone, so were they.

My lettuce nudis seemed to be experts at going where they shouldn't.  They were always on the intakes and overflow screens.  They did seem to multiply for a while, since there were tiny ones about, but eventually they all met bad ends.

My experience with them with them wasn't long lived either.  Pretty to look at but you won't see them very long.
