Spanish Dancer
(Hexabranchus sp.)
Hexabranchus Nudibranchs are typically found in warm tropical and subtropical waters, particularly in coral reefs and rocky habitats. They are often encountered on the reef substrate or crawling on coral and other surfaces. Nudibranchs are carnivorous and primarily feed on various types of prey, including sponges, hydroids, and other small invertebrates. Some nudibranch species are known to sequester toxins from their prey, 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.
Hexabranchus Nudibranchs are also sometimes known as Spanish Dancers. They are sometimes seen in the aquarium trade. Hexabranchus nudibranchs are known for their vibrant and striking coloration. They typically exhibit shades of red, orange, and pink, with black lines and spots. They can grow up to 16" in length.
