Default Aiptasia eating Berghia Nudibranch

Big thread on Reef Central, all they eat is Aptasia, then they die, imagine that, this fellow ships to Canada , is anyone interested in splitting shipping?, or better still, have you ever seen them around the lfs's?, he sells them for 8 bucks a piece, shipping would be something like 65 Bucks u.s., to your door, the only thing that concerns me is how long they might get held up in customs, heat packs only last so long, anyhow, people swear by them, they actually reproduce in your tank.

See Message below from Mr. Berghia , I'm waiting for him to get back to me on the availability of 40 and how he would like to handle payment for us., please keep in mind before you jump on board that he won't be responsible if they get held up at customs. By the way, shipping to my door is $63.00 U.S. , Here's his message:


"I just spoke with FedEx. They said a delivery to your house is the same cost as a airport pick up. Doesn't seem right does it?

Nonetheless, I would recommend you pick up the shipment from a FedEx office rather than have it on a cold delivery truck. The heat packs can't stand up to cold weather for long.

Send me your postal code, and I'll get the estimate for you. My guess is it will fall somewhere in the $65-$75 range.

Also, Canadian customs can always hold the shipment up. If this happens, I can't be responsible for any problems this causes. I have a freind who ships corals into Canada fairly frequently. He has had a couple of shipments inspected by customs. But no shipments have been delayed to the point of killing anything.

The berghia can go 48 hours in shipping as long as they are warm. The heat pack last about 35 hours.

Just wanted you to have all of the facts as you consider this."
