Berghia Nudibranchs

I was seriously thinking about going to Searcy to pick it up, but I've just read they are too risky. What's the point in trying to get rid of the aiptasia if they aren't stinging any corals yet, & the filefish might eat the corals? If I can get the nudibranchs in my tank, & my cleaner shrimp or bristle worms don't eat them, I think they would be the best option.

I'll find it. Once you ordered 4+ the price dropped.

been a while since this was run but how did these work for you guys? and does anyone have any left ?

 

I think it was a bust.

 

Mine survived and worked great! Unfortunately, I think they starved eventually. I was trying to catch one for a member but couldn't find it out when I needed to get him. This was one of them. They were about 1/4 that size when I got 4 for my 65g tank.

 

ok, so they are worth a try?

I've tried the file fish and he ate my acans. Never touched an aptasia. Don't know about the nudi

 

If you're not having any luck with peppermints, and can afford them, I'd say yes. Just know that it takes a while and you may not see them once in tank but start noticing aiptasia disappearing one at a time. Turn off all flow when you put them in tank and let them get well attached and moving. If you do it and want to pass them on, I'll buy them from you. I have a few in my new tank that seem to be spreading.

 

really thinking of them for the 54 tank, plus they really look cool and the pepermints never seemed to do anything with the aiptaisia

 

It's hit or miss with shrimp and even file fish. I know they eat smaller ones. The larger ones I used pickling lime on. That did cause some smaller ones, but then the file fish & shrimp took care of them.

 

Don't they have a short life cycle? I thought that was the reasoning for ordering younger ones? Or maybe it was b/c they were cheaper. I can't remember. It's been a few years since I researched them.
