I have baby Scutus sp. in my sump! I've had 3 of these for about 2 years that came with my rock and I've watched them 'spawn' before. Now I've finally found 1 baby about 1/3" long in my sump!! This is truly an amazing snail thingy! (yes I shamelessly stole this picture)

What does it eat.

What do any of the nudibranchs eat? I think the same thing as snails... algae? They just come out about 1 hour before lights out and feed on rock, glass, etc. Never seen them actually feed on anything specific. Never bothered the SPS, LPS, or softies. They're too slow to catch fish!

I'll be trading these off soon. Totally awesome they are!

Thing is most Nudibranchs do not eat algea. The lettuce Nudibranch is about the only one that eats algea, most others have specialized diets.
