No, Elysia crispata. Nudibranchs I believe are poisonous, but GORGEOUS! These guys were the next best thing for me😂 honestly, I love the inverts and stuff more than fish in this hobby😂

Make sure you have strong lighting for them! They are photosynthetic through a process called kleptoplasty. Their stomach selectively preserves the chloroplasts from the algae they eat and transfer them to their body cells. They will use these stolen chloroplasts for energy, so they like to bask for a while in strong light. Pretty cool!

This is the light im running, and because of that reason, is why they have become my favorite thing in the tank by far😍 they'll be tough to beat
