Lettuce Nudibranch Okay?

[girlfish]

Can I have a lettuce nudibranch in my octopus tank? They looked so beautiful at the pet store but I wanted to check with you guys first.

Wish I could tellya...I had one of those, but I accidentally removed him from the tank before the octo arrived. See, I was plucking out macrophytic leafy algae, and...he liked eating that algae...and he was so well camoflagued...

But I know many octos eat snails. So...he might be in jeopardy.

Aaah....probably best not to risk it then. They might be poisonous.

Dont think there is any info on that but probably better safe than sorry...
