Hello! I need to find some nudibrachs that will eat the Aiptasia infesting my tank. Anyone know where I can get some?

In local reef supply store, selling livestock? Or do search for it, closest to you online seller should be shown first.

In my area, far away from you, they are only periodically available, a matter of luck. Have to resort to manual and chemical treatments.

Bigshow Frags currently has them in stock, and they have a waiting list that they'll put you on if you need some.

Thanks! I got some nudi's but they didnt help or perhaps it takes a while - I am killing them with Aiptasia X
In my experience, Aiptasia X doesn't work very well. Seems to spread them more.
Nudi's will definately clear them out, as long as you give them time to do so, and don't have anything that will eat them.
You can also pull any rocks that are covered and don't have coral attached to them. Let them dry in the sun and add them back.
