    I went to the LFS last night and bought two adult Berghia. I hope they can tackle my monster Aiptasia. I finally broke down and spent the cash. I hope they work as well this time as they did last time I used them. The cool part is that one of them laid eggs in the bag before I could put them in the tank. I sucked the eggs out and now they are sitting in my tank.

    Cool deal! They do a great job but do take a while to get 'em all. Good luck!

    I watched one of the Aips get a taste of its own medicine last pm. It grabbed the tip of a sweeper from my hammer. The hammer just dropped the tip but the Aip tried to eat it and got stung all over the place. It burned like half the tentacles off.

    I bought some and they worked great until my wrasse got a taste of them. If you can catch the Berghia eating it is the one of the coolest things I ever saw in my tank. Good Luck!!

    Man, today was great in Berghia land. I watch one stalk an Aiptasia, which was trying to let go of the rock. The Berghia won and I watched it eat the back half of the Aip. I fish the other half out after the battle. I was jonesin for my camera but the battery is dead. Oh well, still cool.
