This may or may not be
this species, as this genus is notoriously difficult to identify
to any one species. Aquarium Care: As with most
of this genus it will do well in an aquarium where it will wipe
out any algae. Feed vegetable foods such as lettuce, cucumber and
courgette (zucchini). Will eat most aquarium fare. Relatively easy
to breed where the female will deposit its eggs in a confined space
such as pipe work. Mature males have larger bushy tentacles than
the females, which will be a lot shorter.
