berghia nudi ?

I put 6 berghia (mating) in my 75 gal about a month ago to start getting rid of my aiptasia. I have a flame shrimp and a cleaner shrimp in the tank and I am wondering if anyone has any experience if these guys will eat the berghia. I have been told not by the company that sold the nudis to me but I have not seen any progess yet on the aiptasia.
If they will eat the berghia will the 2 shrimp die if I put them in my sump for 6 months while the berghia do their job. Would I need to supply light to the sump or will the 2 guys be in heaven because it is in perpetual darkness.
Thanks all

Thanks, Dave, didn't really want to try and catch it. Any idea about the flame shrimp?

The only shrimp incompatible with Berghia is peppermint.
