Phyllidia willani is a visually distinctive nudibranch known for its vibrant colours and textured dorsal surface. This species is a specialised feeder, primarily grazing on certain sponges, making it a fascinating but challenging addition to marine aquaria.
Care Level: Due to its specialised diet and sensitivity, Phyllidia willani is recommended for advanced hobbyists with mature reef systems.
Feeding: This nudibranch feeds almost exclusively on specific sponge species. It is essential to ensure the presence of suitable sponge prey in the aquarium or provide an alternative sponge source to maintain its health.
Compatibility and Reef Safety: Phyllidia willani is generally reef safe but should be housed with non-aggressive tank mates to avoid stress. It poses no threat to corals or other invertebrates but requires a peaceful environment.
Tank Requirements: A minimum tank size of 75 litres is advised to provide adequate space and stable water parameters. Moderate water flow and stable lighting conditions are preferred to mimic its natural habitat.
Placement: Position the nudibranch in areas where its preferred sponge food is abundant. Avoid placing near aggressive or predatory species.
