    I got first a small Lettuce Caribbean Nudibranch (about 1 inch) after that I got a bigger one (maybe 2 inch). For some reason one day it dropped of the tankwall, floating helplessy in the tank around. I got on the ground and than it started like secreting some slime, and 1 day later it died. So after that I noticed that also the small one dissappeared (presumed dead). Anybody got on idea what happened?

    Did it run out of food? What are your water parameters? Temperature and salinity? How old is your tank?
