mogurnda October 29, 2014 Share October 29, 2014 (edited) Because they do this: http://youtu.be/hftEWpoxbPo These guys literally just decide to float around for a while, maybe a few times a day. Perfectly healthy slug, just going for a drift. After a few minutes, she slowly sank onto a patch of Bryopsis and started eating again. Imagine what would happen with a Vortec in the tank. It's kind of mesmerizing. Edited October 29, 2014 by mogurnda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbartco October 30, 2014 Share October 30, 2014 would they let go if they had the current though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmerek2 October 30, 2014 Share October 30, 2014 where do you guys get this music lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogurnda October 30, 2014 Author Share October 30, 2014 would they let go if they had the current though? I don't know. All I know is that these guys aren't very smart, and that people never have much luck with them in reef tanks. I am assuming that they use the drifting behavior to get them to new patches of algae, but maybe they are smart enough to stay put when there is a current. where do you guys get this music lol It's from the menu at YouTube. I just tried to find something that was a little spacy-groovy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbartco October 30, 2014 Share October 30, 2014 Another hint, don't leave the "Solar Sea Slug Blog" up on your desktop when sharing your PC in a videoconference call. You'd think I had porn sleaze up there with all the ribbing I have taken! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Origami October 31, 2014 Share October 31, 2014 I don't know. All I know is that these guys aren't very smart, and that people never have much luck with them in reef tanks. I am assuming that they use the drifting behavior to get them to new patches of algae, but maybe they are smart enough to stay put when there is a current. I tried putting a few in a tank many years ago. They lasted less than a couple of days as I recall. I was pretty convinced at the time that they either drifted into a powerhead or went over an overflow and, ultimately, into a return pump. Now I'm even more convinced. <open scene: solar sea slug floating freely.> "Look. I'm flying! ..... What? Wait! Oh, Noooooooooooooooooooooo!" <fade to black.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
