Understand that these slug eat a type of sponge. Are you sure is those normal blue sponges? Mine starved to dead due to can't find the right food for it. The lady who sold it to me told me that it ate algae .

They feed on sponges not algae. They are hard to keep. I tried to keep my happy with ornage sponges but after awhile they will go on hunger strike. Well, you know what's next.
