Isaac Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I found this guy munching on some star polyp. After doing some research I found out it is a common predator of the star polyp. It's called a Phyllodesmium Briareum. It has bright yellow tips on its gills or whatever they are. It also has a symbiotic zoanthelle and can photosynthesize!

Emerald525 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I was thinking about this nudibranch Isaac!(clap) Very cool! So would it work for someone who has a star polyp overgrowth problem?(scratch) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 I'm not really sure. It seems to eat really slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerald525 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 It's kinda cool! :DIt's about the size of my hand! I just though what an interesting idea to keep star polyps under control. Kind of like people who buy goats for their land so they don't have to mow!(laugh) I also learned I was pronouncing nudibranch incorrectly and it is is pronounced something like "nudie bronk" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
