Sea Slug Info

April 7, 2000
From: Cherish

Hello.
Unfortunately I do not know very much about aquariums and things like that. However my science teacher wishes to purchase a "puple sea slug". I was told to research what food they eat, if they have any predators, water conditions needed, and any other necessary info.
I would greatly appreciate any help you can give.
Thanks,
Cherish.

Dear Cherish,
I'm afraid you will have to ask your teacher what they mean by a "purple sea slug". Common names don't mean much unless they are in 'common' use, and I have never heard of a "purple sea slug".

If you have a photo or a scientific name then perhaps I could help.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
