All, I have allowed an aptasia problem to get out of control, and wanted to finally start taking the tank back. I have read that the Berghia Nudi is great for this as they only eat aptasia. I would like to get maybe 2 to 4 of them. Is there anyone in the middle TN area that has any and may be interested in selling me a few? I am south of Nashville, near Lewisburg tn. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Berghia work very well. The problem I came across I don't think they are to intelligent. Mine died off but still had a few aptasia left. Now they are gone the aptasia are coming back. The ddo a awesome job. Since you can get them locally at a fair price it's definitely worth it. I wish I had them locally

from what I have read, these guys are kind of the silver bullet because that is all they eat. I have not read of anyone that did not get results over time. But I cannot give you first hand experience yet. Josh said he will contact me when he gets them. I have read that they do take time, so don't expect results overnight. Personally, I have a tank full of aptasia, so I expect that it will take quite some time, and I don't want to start with too many as I hear that they will reproduce and once they run out of food then they die. I probably don't have to worry about that for a while, but once things start getting close to clean I will probably look to give them away to someone else who needs them. There are places to order online from what I found, but you pay out the nose for shipping, so I would rather wait for someone local to get them. Good luck.

I believe it's saltwater.com that has them. Search berghia and they will pop up as the only place that always has them.
