all nudis have a very very select diet as in if you dont have what they eat they will eat nothing else , about 75% of the species collected are better off left in the ocean:)

Ugggghhh, I need to rant here:

These animals are offered to stores as an item that THEY CAN ORDER. It's not like "oh, yah, we just got sent it for free because they think we're good peeps." The whole notion that you can just bring in whatever's pretty on the basis that someone will eventually buy it is a boat load of BS.

You know, I get it, it's within a business' right to occasionally bring in oddball/challenging animals. However, there are some folks that just take it too far. Some animals will always be problematic in captivity. They should, as Denny stated, be left in the ocean. Quite frankly, I don't really care how a customer chooses to spend their money. My frustration is when the stores that they pay patronage to abuse ignorance and bring in the "little pretties" to make a quick buck. Please, to all of everyone who has some modicum of self-respect for their hobby and money, there are some things you simply should not buy. And correspondingly, there are some retailers that DO NOT DESERVE the faux pas on account of "not knowing". Bullsh1t. They knew and they ordered on purpose. And they should be punished for it.

Lol well said Albert. Iv noticed a lot of lfs really don't give out proper information and details about the things they sell. Its a good thing I have learned from past experiences and figured id check before adding it to my tank. If it looks crazy like that odds are there is gonna be a catch. Anyway, I returned it to the LFS and told them what I had found out. He then proceeded to tell me " It wouldn't hurt anything as it is only one little nudi" I didn't bother to waste any more of my time arguing. Sure hope the next person to buy it is aware of the harm it can cause.

Well, as a wise man once said, "F__k that guy."
