Ich habe dieses Tier heute kurz nach dem das Licht ausging in meinem Aquarium entdeckt, welches schon gut 2 Jahre läuft. LG habe ich keines nachgesetzt, also muss sie mindestens schon 2 Jahre alt sein. Die Schnecke ist gut 8cm lang. Algen habe ich recht wenig ein paar kleinere Schwämme habe ich schon die aber wie ich empfinde nicht angerührt werden.

Leider habe ich die Schnecke nun mindestens 2 Monate nicht mehr gesehen. Vermutlich ist das Tier aus Futtermangel verendet. Schade :(

Ich habe diese Schnecke heute in meinem Aquarium enbtdeckt. Sie muss mit dem Lebendgestein ins Becken eingeschleppt worden sein. Das Tier macht bislang einen fitten Eindruck. Laut SeaSlug Forum soll Dendrodoris nigra sich von Schwämmen ernähren. Daher muss ich damit rechnen, dass diese schöne Schnecke leider nicht lange im Aquarium leben wird. Das Becken steht schon 4 Monate, daher habe ich die kleine Hoffnung, dass im Moment noch genügend Futter vorhanden ist. Vorsorglich gebe ich Sponge Power von Korallenzucht zu um das Wachstum der Schwämme zu beschleunigen.

Ich halte euch auf dem Laufenden.
