Concerning message #17487:

Bill,
Thanks so much for your analysis of my sea slug. Guessing it might be a Palythoa-eating species, I put it in quarantine with a couple polyps right after I originally wrote you. It seemed to be doing fine for a while, but alas, a few days ago, I found it dead in its quarantine area. :-(   To my knowledge, it hadn't munched on either of the polyps (at least as far as I could tell).

Sorry to bear bad news. If I find another one in my display, I'll be sure to leave it for observation and let you know.

Hope all is well,
Jon

Dear Jon,
Sorry it died. I would certainly be interested if you find any more

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
