Nudibranchs, just to let you know, usually look like the primary food they eat whether in color, shape, and/or texture. Again the lettuce nudibranch is an example. It's green and looks like plant material and eats just that as it's primary food. All nudibranchs do eat algae, but it may be a primary food or a secondary food. Primary is more important, though both are needed. The neon nudibranch (the black ones with two blue stripes), I forgot it's most common name...but they eat flatworms...a little bug generally harmless, but if they die off in large numbers can pose a problem to the tank. They eat nothing else. They are only shaped the same way as the food they eat, but is also an example. Some eat gorgonias and are colored like the gorgonia species they eat. Etc., etc. Perhaps you can pass this on to your 'friend' over at the LFS. See if they'll accept a trade.
A suggestion...if you are interested in something the LFS has that is not in your books, ask for it's name...scientific preferred. Do the homework before you buy. It's worth the extra time and effort. Though there are a lot of LFS out there that do know their stuff, there are just as many that don't.
BTW...usually...the older rep is going to have more experience and therefore more knowledge. It doesn't always apply, but that's the usual.
My fingers are dyslexic at the moment so excuse any typos I may have overlooked...LOL. Try not to pout. I know, it's a bummer, but it's a learning experience that would probably keep others from making the same mistake...so it's a valuable lesson.
