Thanks for the help Bill.
Now all I have to do is get hold of one or two of the rather beautiful animals. I live in Canberra and that makes a trip to the Barrier Reef a little difficult. Looks like I will have to get hold of the appropriate permit and go for a holliday there. If you know of anyone who could put a couple of the slugs in a bag and have them sent by courier to me I will pay for them.
Regards

Dear Mauro,
If you are looking for something to keep the algae down there are always herbivorous snails like Scutus or a Sea Hare, which can be found on the New South Wales coast. There are also herbivorous fish but I can't give you any advice on suitable aquarium species.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
