Berghia nudibranchs ? (Aptasia Control)
 

Can you buy these aptasia eating delights anywhere in Canada? Is there any interest flying around?

I know there was a thread a while ago on these and I expressed interest at that time but not sure where it got to. Anyway I am still interested as I have a few of these buggers in my 230 that I can't reach to Joe's Juice them and can't put peppermint shrimp in because my big honkin coral banded shrimps kill them.

Perhaps we should fly some in?

Sounds good to me if you can find some. I think these guys are pretty small and I probably need about 15 or 20 of them.

I was looking into getting some too, but as Ruth said you need many of them, they tend to get sucked into powerheads and they are TINY! I was hoping it would be easier to get them in but....when I contacted the guy in the US it wasn't feasible for me to do on my own...HOWEVER...if anyone does decide to get some I am IN...I need some for my reef and would love to participate in a buy...if only to figure out how to coordinate it if we do! I can get to Vancouver easily enough if someone there starts this up....let me know!

why not peppermint shrimp. I have one of these guys in my 65Gal which was infested with aptasia and now there is none. Took him like 2 months to eat them all and he doesnt touch any of my soft corals. They are also readily available..Just a thought.

I've tried because I have had luck with peppermint shrimp in other tanks but no go in this one.

Well I invested a lot in the Nudis. Tried to get a group buy but didn't get enough interest. So I went it alone and thought I could make it up later. Can't say the 22 I put in my 75G did anything to my Aptasia population nor have I seen a Nudi since the lights went out the first day I put them in (2 months ago)
Not quite the solution to my aptasia problem

Doh, that dosen't sound very convincing...

I bought 10 of them, put them in a seperate tank and am keeping an eye on them (when I can find them). Have had them for about a month now. They have been laying lots of eggs but not sure what is happening, yet.
Eggs seem to disappear every few days, so I am not sure if there is someone eating them? I think it takes about 2weeks for them to hatch.
