So this little guy was a hitchhiker and looks amazing. Ive done some research and seem to be a species called phyllidiella pustulosa. Anyone have any ideas on how to keep them alive, all the research ive done points to its impossible :(. Also added heaps of new corals, update coming soon.

Your ID looks reasonable, although it is often difficult to be absolutely certain.

Keeping most of the nudi's alive in a home aquarium is virtually impossible - if you are able to identify its preferred food (often sponges), maintaining on on-going supply is very difficult.

Thanks, it seems like it does feed on sponges. Pity they are so hard to keep because they look amazing

I have this book called World Atlas of Marine Fauna by Rudie Kuiter and Helmut Debelius and the closest thing I can find to yours is Pseudoceros imitatus, under Marine Worms

Thanks, this species is sooo hard to ID correctly. My iphone app has like 5 or 6 that look exactly the same haha.
