![]() Getting fed up with the aptasia, I think I need to get some berghia.
I know that peppermint shrimp will eat the berghia but how about cleaner shrimp? I have one in my tank. My tank is a 40 breeder. Live stock is 2 clowns, starry blenny, tail spot blenny, bangaii cardinal, mandarin dragonet, and cleaner shrimp. I'm worried about the cleaner shrimp and mandarin dragonet might eat the berghia? Any thoughts? Also how many berghia should I get? I wouldn't say the tank is completely overrun by aptasia but there's a fair bit. Thanks. |

![]() 2-3 berghia for a 40 if you have about 50 aptasia.the start up is slow,but in a few months they will clean out the problem.fish will not eat them as they taste bad to them.i've seen my lunar wrasse attempt to eat one and then spit it out right away.the good thing about berghia is they are reef safe-all they eat is aptasia;so once you have no aptasia they will starve to death

![]() I check from time to time. I know that there are still some left because I can see some aiptasias are disapearing, but that's my only cue for now. Hope they managed to breed because I have tons of tiny aiptasia babies to feed them.
