Lettuce Nudibranch

Hi I bought a lettuce nudibranch not knowing that it needs byropis algae to live. It is now starving to death, do I need I need to take it back to the fish store or is there anything I can do?

they don't need bryopsis, they'll take caulerpa, etc. too.

Depends which species you have. Some won't touch Caulerpa. Some eat it and maybe nothing else. They've also been reported to eat Penicillus and a few species of Halimeda.

As far as nudibranchs poisoning tanks, it's only a problem with one family. Lettuce slugs aren't even nudibranchs. It's not a problem.
