paul b January 30, 2010 Share January 30, 2010 That is very interesting and I have never heard of that particular slug. A few years ago I raised about a hundred similar slugs, elysia crispata commonly called lettuce slugs. They also incorporate chloroplasts into their skin so they manufacture food from light. http://www.breedersregistry.org/Articles/b...PoweredSlug.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L8 2 RISE January 30, 2010 Share January 30, 2010 wow, cool slug, I want one, where can I get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul b January 30, 2010 Share January 30, 2010 you really have done everything, Not really, I once worked at a Victoria Secret photo shoot in the Plaza Hotel and they would not let me put the wings on the girls. I really wanted to do that. (but I was the foreman at the Playboy Club and Penthouse Magazine so I guess that counts,) wow, cool slug, I want one, where can I get it? Theyre actually pretty cheap and common. The only problem with them is that while they don't really swim, they kind of float if something knocks them off a rock and they have an affinity for powerheads. You need a sponge on everyhing. They only "eat" bryopsis algae but the adults will live on light alone. At night they become inactive and just lay there. They get about an inch long and are very cool looking.
