Default Group Sale!: Berghia Nudibranchs (for your aiptasia problems)

Hey everyone, Fiona here!

Got an annoying aiptasia problem and chemical dosing, peppermint shrimp, copperband butterflys, blah blah blah, not working? We got just what you need - Berghia Nudibranchs!

Mother Nature's natural solution for these pests is the Berghia Nudibranch as they are:
  • small in size (1" - 1.5") and can fit through any crack and crevice in your tank
  • eats only aiptasia and nothing else (as mentioned above)
  • breeds like rabbits in a balanced tank with ample food source (aiptasia!) and adequate hiding spaces
  • very little bioload
  • reef and fish safe
  • will eat any sized aiptasia (even the ones you've been "nurturing" over the years)
For those in desperate relief of their aiptasia infestation, Kraken is carrying these suckers for a limited time of $20 each! When you purchase 4, your 5th one is FREE!


Shipping is $40 across Canada.


Please send in your orders by Friday, through pm or email!

I wouldn't go with any less than 4 in a tank your size Nick , maybe even 5 or 6. They need to be able to find each other to breed. The ones that you buy won't do a lot for your aptasia problem , it's the babies that are the real ferocious eaters. So going the Berghia route works great but can take a couple months before you start to notice a difference. I also wouldn't recommend using Berghia unless you have quite a few aptasia , because if the tank is too big and you don't have many aptasia they will starve to death before they can find the aptasia to feed on.

Here's a good read about Berghia and I would suggest anyone whos considering ordering Berghia to check it out so you know what to expect and how many you should order.

He speaks the truth. Thats why when I introduced my bergia, I used a seperator box and put rocks with aiptasia in it. The top of the box is above the water level so the berghia are safe from predation and will find eachother easily (especially in a big tank). Ill show you guys my setup >=D

I had zoanthids that had aiptasias in them too so I just put them into the box to clear them off first and its very easy for the berghia to find as well.

I bought 10 of these in January of 2014 since that time I have only seen one grown adult and two babies. My aptaisa is still present after six month. These things have a gut the size of grain of sand and just one anemones is enough to feed one for days. Many people have tried these things but few report success. I have heard others with a simulair experiance to mine Mine probally ended up in a power head. I even used course foam pad to prevent them from getting down my overflo. 20 dollars for a small bug is a rip off. Just one 5 dollar pepperment shrimp would put a whole group of these things to shame. I put no faith in this creature nothing but disappointments. Sorry for being a Debbie downer but its a forum.
