Concerning message #4811:
Thank you for this wonderful resource. I'm a reef aquarist and also manage a saltwater fish store. I got two of these in on some Tubastrea and I was able to ID these by your website.

I am glad you find the Forum useful. Phestilla melanobrachia is one of very few nudibranchs which can be adequately maintained in aquaria - as long as you have supplies of living Tubastrea available. Unfortunately nudibranchs feeding on sponges, hydroids, bryozoans etc have very specialised diets, so we need to know that exact species they feed on. Even when we know their special food, the chances of having healthy and abundant supplies of it available to feed the nudibranch, are very slight
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
