Berghia nudibranches
 

What is the story on these... will they eat majanos and are they really reef safe?

Everything I have read says they are reef save the only think they eat is aptasia I would like to find a couple they are kind of espensive if you dont find a few people that needs some. If you order some let me know I would go in with you.

Questions about said Berghia nudibranchs ??? Look here for this particular one's FAQ. Nice info. I'd like to get one or two also.

"Aiptasia Eating Nudibranch
Aedidella stephanieae
formerly Berghia verrucicornis
sexually mature adults $29.99 *
juveniles $20.00 *"

someone is selling these pretty cheap in the livestock selling forum right now. cheaper than can be got online. i think its 10 bux a piece. plus shipping

maybe a group buy?

Anyone know if they will eat the majanos as well? They are very similar to the aptasia. Also if they run out of aptasia and majanos will they eat regular BTA's?

As for a group buy....I probably need 9+ for my system so if other would like. I am not really interested in running a group buy though.

Let me know for sure.

they will not. They ONLY eat aptasia. which means unless you have a moderate to heavy aptasia problem this is not a good solution for you. I would try kalking them.

after your aptasia is gone they die. but the nice thing is they will completely erradicate your aptasia. the links that were posted will give you more info on them.

These sound VERY interesting.
I'll see if my husband wants to run a group buy. Can't promise anything but boy am I tired of aiptasia!

its best to actually remove rocks with aiptasia and put them in a 10 gallon with these guys until they start breeding which is very prolific then place the juveniles in your tank, I've been considering this for a while... Problem is its like the whole seahare dilemna, once your problem is cured dead berghia,

Good news always enough people that have aiptasia problems, I still remember when crystal said over a year ago, kill that its bad and I said oh its just one..........

I'll run the group buy if we have enough interest,
pm or post who you find as the cheapest and we'll go from there.

The link to the berghia.net/marketplace had them for 13.5 apiece if there were 24 bought. I believe they said ship and handling was free with 30. Tried to find the link on cora that had them for $10 but couldn't. Probably just falling asleep at my computer while aimlessly scrolling...

The US dollar sucks now or this place would be really cheap....

I bought some from him today (guy in the selling forum). They are alive and healthy. Adults had eggs and are starting to hatch when I put them in. $14.50 each from him w/ shipping.

following along, in case some one near me gets some

let me know if we a go with a buy

me as well probably good for 2 of them :)

well it looks like we have about enough to go with the 9.99 each and free shipping,
we need 25,
I'll call tomorrow and make sure on the size etc....

So I'll put my self down for at least 5, my clowns won't breed so i'll breed nudibranchs

Just list your name and how many you want
dew2loud1-5

if we are getting them for 9.99 each I will take 10. I will just see what I can get them to eat.

szwab - 2

I'll take 2 please.

I'm in for a couple adults. Say 5.

We did a group buy a while back on them. They are sweet, but also very sensitive. I put 12 in my 125 and never saw them again after that day. I think they were eaten by the aptaisia. :lol:
I think for the most part it was that way across the board for most that got in on it. Although there were also a couple that had good success with them also I think. The other thing to keep in mind once all the aptaisia are gone, if you don't supply a food source they will die.

i think the 10 gallon is a good idea. just transfer the rocks into it that need it. the problem with them being in a big tank i was reading is sometimes they wander so long and die before they have an aptasia
