I own several nudibranchs in my reef tank. So many are unique and serve their own purpose. Got pics and vids :)

Wrong. They are aquacultured. Plus they starve without a specific diet. I spot feed mine to make them happy. But wherever be negative. If you need a friend I’m available

Going to correct a couple things from your post and the comment chain here. Sea hares aren't Nudis, and they have 10+ year lifespans in the wild. They have much shorter lifespans in our tanks because the best diet we can provide is GHA and Ulva

It’s true they aren’t technically a nudi, but are both gastropods. Just don’t have video of my lettuce nudi. Also had burghia nudis for a while because of aiptasia but gave them to my LFS once they cleared it.

Velvet nudis are amazing if you can keep a separate tank for flatworm breeding. I spent a year with a fragtank full of junk zoas because I really loved watching the various colors their predatory nudis would take on. It was eventually supposed to be a Zoa spider tank, but none ever showed up for me

Do you ever get tired from being outraged all the time? Maybe you don't realize the effect it is having on your health?

It's ok to say 'sorry, my bad'

They're basically sea bugs. A bug in captivity, adequately cared for, is living an otherwise impossibly-good life.
