However, when two or more Berghia leave a "huddle" (this is called "necking" in the Berghia world) all participants can depart with fertilized egg strings.

obviously they dont have bits hanging out but i just pictured this and it made me giggle...

i have a 5 gal,a 3 gal, and a two gal for the berghia-plus my 220-you don't have to change water that often.i would change 1/4 once a week using the water from my 220.the reason that you stop for a while is some of the berghia will be swimming through the water column once they hatch and you don't want to suck them up.i was harvesting around 20 from my 3 gal and 60 from my 220(all from the sump-not my main display)per month.after i moved i started up the 5 and 2 gallon-but right now i am just breeding the aptasia

I have a idea for aiptasia reproduction.


Get them growing on crushed coral and comb the crushed coral every once in a while......this will make them reproduce like crazy and you can remove them easily.

Dont ask how I know this....
