Tritoniopsis elegans in aquaria [2]
March 12, 2004
From: Albert Jeffers
I have a white Nudi feeding on a bushy leather coral I have. The coral is unidentified, and looks like a cross between Cladiella and Kenya Tree. The nudi is white, with branching apparatus that resembles the coral with polyps closed. I wish I had a picture but the nudis were doing too much damage and I removed them. They laid a spiral translucent egg mass, so I am sure thewre are more coming.
Can anyone help me ID and rid myself of these guys? I would be glad to supply specimens to anyone interested.
Thank you,
Albert Jeffers
