The Berghia worked for me as well!!! In my case I did put the Berghia, 3 of them, in a ten gallon tank with some aiptasia covered rocks. I let them clean the rocks, soon found eggs and just kept adding rocks for months. I eventually figured they were dead. I then acclimated the rocks to the tank, just in case. I really didn't pay all that much attention to the aiptasia population until I was talking to someone about it.....I had about 20 left out of 100+. I did take a long time, probably six months but nothing else worked for me. I ended up catching 30 in my overflow filter sock, some I sold, some I gave away. Long story short....they work. As far as the dottyback goes, I had a blue flavivertex Pseudochromis that I expected to eat the nudis but it apparently had no interest. It also helps that the Berghia are nocturnal.....Like Snorvich I saw them only once after putting them in my tank...until I started catching them left and right. I did not catch any until all the aiptasia were gone. IMO this is the one nearly certain cure to aiptasia. FYI my tank is a 92 gallon with a 30 gallon sump.
