berghia nudis.

does anyone have any experience with these , mostly in regards to aiptasia. ive found it difficult to find peppermint shrimps to gnaw on some that i have. but was offered the berghias for the same effect. and do the berghias come with other side affects regarding corals? thnx in advance

guy

 

well let me tell you man I love mine i notice the other day (yesterday) 90% of my aptisia is now gone. all because of these lil guys I have peppermint shrimp that do nothing. these guys are great only down fall is that aptisia is the only thing they eat. so to keep them alive start another tank to let the aptisia grow I know it sounds stupid but tomorrow I will be adding rocks from my 55 into my 100 so they will survive. best aptisa control ever IMO. it will take a few weeks for them to get together and kill off all the lil aptisia inside the rock crevasses then they will attach all other aptisia. No side effects here I have 5 in my 100 and one in my 55 as he will work slower.

 

matter of fact i think I took a picture of one munching yesterday.i let me see if I can find it

 

cool thnx lv. much appreciated. any guesstimate how many i should get? i dont have a lot of aip , and not worried how quick its gone if it will keep the berghias in business

 

if you have small rocks I would add 2 in your sump and change rocks out once all aptisia i gone. thats what I should of done but owell it is almost gone.

 

sorry I was about to toss in the towel with my tank and sell everything off and start back over. before these guys and also during these guys I never seen a change until yesterday.

 

reason i want them is because the aip is in tough to get at places. trying to make life easier on me. and shuffling the rocks is kinda tough where they are located

 

yeah then try and get them placed in the same spot they like to jump on the bigger ones together. I had some monsters in my tank and I was at the last draw with these little life/reef savers killing my corals and not the cheap stuff either. now only if I could find out how to add photos to an post I will be ok lol

 

click on go advanced instead of post quick. allows attachments lv

 

hmmm did it work?
