| Spanish Dancer in mid swim |
So a good friend put me onto this web page which has some pretty amazing pics of some really nice sea slugs a.k.a. Nudibranchs. Probably not something many people keep in the aquarium because, some can tend to eat your soft corals and be toxic to your fish if harmed + aren't really that easy to keep either and when they die will pollute your tank water with toxins. Been diving in Sydney many times and even when there a no fish or corals/sponges to look at these guys can keep you entertained for a long time. In Sydney they seem to populate certain underwater areas endemically - by this I mean you can swim around for 20 metres and only see a ones species than another 20 metres down that species is non-existent and you find another type. I do believe they have short life spans which probably has something to with this.
I do remember a while back when Spanish Dancers where available in Sydney however, I haven't seen one in ages.... Anyways go and check out this link:
