I bought a bergnia (or whatever you called them) about 2 weeks ago. Last nite, lucky enough I found them hided in the cracks of those rocks, mean they are still alive, but I also can see, the aiptasia in my tank ALL are still "waving hands" like saying to me "you have no luck, "

I dont know what else should I try.

I'll feed the one I can reach a little kalk paste mixed with mysis juice (they'll stay out and eat it up) and have relied on peppermints to get others.

Have found if you stay one them hard for a bit, they basically die back to nothing. Now my shrimp have disappeared finding I need a few minutes almost touch up every 6 months with the kalk but not a concern. Think the idea is don't let them get out of control or then the battle is on again.

So far I have had 100% success with Joe's Juice. Most of the time I just give them a squirt in close proximity without having to inject them. Although I have only had to deal with 10 creatures so far.

There is one large creature lurking in a cave that I cannot get at. I may have to do some aquascaping to get at him.

Berghia nudibranch worked for me. I had about 30 Aiptasia in my 34G so i added 2 of these hunters. Its been about 2 months and i only see 1 left! Oh ya they might get into the overflow, that reminds me....................................... gotta go!
