Unfortunatley I lost mine when I moved . I would like to get more too, but now that coralscaping is gone, I reallly don't know where to find them.

how many did u have for what size system?
thanks

I ordered 3 "Trio-Pack"s for my 120... so 10 in total, because they come with a bonus juvenile. I'll let you know how the shipment works out when it comes in.

I had a VERY HEAVILY infested tank. I put 30 in my 120 gallon. They were doing a marvelous job, and I noticed a difference in a matter of a few weeks.

When I first put in two pep shrimps I noticed a few larger apistasia (sp?) had vanished over night and I thought right on there gona clean up the few I have, but when they realized they could pick up scraps of clam or silverside they stopped eating the apistasia (sp?)

Cant blame them I would stop as well.
It would be nice to find a local supplier for Bergia.

fragalot was selling a little while ago.

About time I updated everyone on how the purchase worked out... sorry for taking so long.
As the site mentions, they're backordered by about eight weeks. It's an accurate prediction, too... we got an email stating that they were shipping the Bergs almost exactly two months after ordering. No crazy, out-of-the blue shipping costs, either; everything was up front.
Our nudibranchs arrived in good condition, better coloured than the ones I ordered from Salty Underground for my last tank. (brown is healthy, white is starving to death). They disappeared into my tank; it took me a little while to be sure, but the aipstasia population is unquestionably declining, particularly in the area I first released them. Probably, given the size of the tank (120g), I should have ordered a few more, but nine adults plus the bonus juvenile seems to have been enough to breed and continue taking down the aiptasia population. I expect to be completely aiptasia free in another month or two.
Here's the site again, for those who are wondering why this necrotic thread suddenly came back to life:
