![]() Salty Underground (the most reliable source of Berghia that I've seen online) state on their FAQ page that cleaner shrimp are compatible with berghia. They're not something they'd normally eat, so unless your shrimp were starving I doubt they'd be a problem. I had cleaner shrimp in my tank at the time I was using Berghia and they didn't seem to have any effect on the population.

![]() peppermint shrimp will eat berghia but I don't think cleaner will do that. Anyway berghias only come out at night in total darkness and the shrimp are sleeping usually at night so they don't really interfear with each other.
I bought 5 berghia put them in my 75 gallons and never saw them again. Still have tons of aiptasia but seem some are disapearing from time to time so I am guessing that some berghias are still alive. Don't put them near any aiptasia as the aiptasia will eat the berghia if they can touch it. Don't ever handle berghia with your hand, you need a large pipette to sort of suck it in the pipette than push it out with the flow. They are very fragile. don't put them near any pump in or strong flow. Acclimation should be minimum of 3 to 4 hours with drip. If you add only 3, your chances of them breeding and multiplying are very small. 5 will be more likely. They are freeking expensive and really not that efficient. I still have tons of aiptasias after a few months of having put 5 berghias in my tank. I have nothing that will eat them either. No wrasse either.
