I watched a documentary about these guys. They have both a penis and a vagina and when they mate they rape the fuck out of eachother while they try to bite of the other one's penis.

Because they want to give sperm but not recive. They gain more by letting others give birth to their genes than to give birth themself. That's why they rape eachother and that's why they try to bite off eachothers penises.

I had absolutely no idea such things existed.

reefer /an/ hero here

I own 2, one is a "lettuce nudibranche," which is not a true nudi at all and is actually in the same genus as giant clams (see pic, cuase i own lots and they are hot), and a "sea hare." Both of which eat exclusively hare algae (which you dont want in your reef tank).
The only other viable nudis are Berghia Verrucicornis Nudibranchs, which eat only aptasia (which you also dont want) but once thats gone they starve to death (its more difficult to run out of algae lol), there is another one that only eats flatworms that some people buy for their reefs too.

Almost nothing is known about the many many other nudis seen occasionly in the hobby, but it is generally considered that they have to eat something, and you probably won't like what they eat (probably feed exclusively on one species of your expensive coral or another), and then when they eat all that or if you dont have any of that random coral in your tank then they die and more than likely release a potent toxen in your tank that kills all your fish and coral

for clarification the pic is a tridacna maxima clam, not a lettuce nudi...also for clarrification this thread is probably fixing to be about giant clams () : )

I've seen a diver eat one before. She had to go to the hospital and have her stomach pumped. They are all fairly toxic.

nudibranches taste like death by poison I imagine
