you are only killing it la......i doubt you would find the correct sponge to feed it as there are thousands or specis and they one eat one type....

they might not die for weeks but it doesn't mean they are not staving.....do the right thing and stop taking stuff that you can't keep from the sea la....

I agree with tineng.

Sea slugs like these can have very specialised and specific diets, which can consist of only a few or even one particular species of sponge/corals/etc.

Well since u already have it at home, good luck. kepp us posted if it's growing. :upsidedown:

Hi Bro tineng,

I have done my part to do alot of research so don't doubt people capability if you can't do it.

btw, the species of Tritonia Bollandi feeds on gorgonian Verrucella aurantia (Fam: Ellisellidae) instead of sponge and the gorgonian is not difficult to find from the local LFS.

Anyway, thanks for your concern and all are noted.

Hi Travy,

Thanks for yor concern too :bow: .

I'll closely monitor the growth of this slug and if there is any sign of stress, I'll release back to the original place that I have found it :evil: .

Cheer :)
