hey what can be a source of food for the nudibranch?
I personally do not reccomend keeping a nudibranch in the home aquarium unless you have a large continous supply of what it eats

All nudibranchs are predators on sessile animals, and all have specific mouth and gut modifications that prevent them from eating a wide variety of prey. Because these structural modifications are used to classify the four suborders, each group has a defined set of potenetial foods, as well as specific appearances.
How many nudibranch's have you attempted to keep in aquariums?
It is best to get an adult so it has a better chance of survival while you figure out how to keep him alive.
Yeah, but when you're trying to keep one of those alive, you need all the help you can get. They're best admired from afar, not in your house.

Now I know a little better.
