I had one I pulled off a piece a couple weeks ago that was similar in that its colors perfectly mimicked the colors of the frag it was living on (bright orange and green). I took a couple pictures but they didn't out quite that well...I'll try and download them tonight and post them here. They're amazing little creatures.

Wow that is pretty amazing. Makes me think maybe I should check out my zoos a little closer....

If you still have I'd love to have it. Mel and I traded long ago I got a couple zoos, they are envasive as he11. If they only eat zoos please let me know.

Here is one I got on a resent frag trade. Always remember to Dip and quarantine your new corals no matter who or where you get them.

Charles, If I'm ever unlucky enough to get another one I'll keep it for you. I never even thought someone would want one.

Do they eat exclusively zoos? Nudis are notorius for solo diet habits.

I can understand someone wanting to have something that eats zoos. My green zoos grow all over the place. It's gotten so bad that I stuck my bubble coral up against a big section of the zoos and yellow polyps (which are much worse as far as being a weed goes). Man that thing is killing those polyps really well!

I posted this because I was talking to some people at the reef meeting about zoo-eating nudibranchs mimicking zoos.

I have a bottle brush and a tenius that are starting to take a beating.
