Hi there i seem to have some Julia exquisita in my tank. I use to grow Caulerpa to feed my main display tank ! they are really fantastic to watch and i was wondering if there was anything i can do to make sure they have a good life in there! do they require and special care?

Dear Andy,
I know it may not be possible for you, but it would be nice to see a photo of your animals. Without one I can't really be sure you have Julia.  I am pretty sure the Caulerpa is a very important part of the equation. This group of sea slugs feed on species of Caulerpa, so I guess the Caulerpa, or one of the species you had in your holding tank, was the one they preferred.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
