Purple Chromodoris Nudibranch

(Chromodoris bullocki)

These nudibranchs are found in warm and tropical waters, particularly in coral reefs and rocky coastal areas. They are often associated with specific types of sponges, which they feed on. Chromodoris nudibranchs are generally specialized feeders, preying on certain types of sponges. Some species of Chromodoris have evolved to sequester toxic compounds from the sponges they consume, making them unpalatable to potential predators. It's essential to avoid using copper-based treatments in a tank with invertebrates, as it can harm them. Always follow the recommended guidelines for medication use in marine aquariums.

Chromodoris bullocki are commonly referred to as Purple Chromodoris Nudibranch. They are not often collected for the aquarium trade. They typically have a pale blue or purple body adorned with bright orange, yellow, or red spots. The color patterns can vary somewhat among individuals. They can reach a maximum size of around 2 inches.
