We as aquarists know all too often this scenario. What starts out as a seemly harmless single aiptasia polyp quickly explodes into a full blown outbreak in a matter of days! Stinging your prized corals, fish and otherwise creating an unsightly eye sore. Removal of single aiptasia polyp is difficult enough, an aquarium wide outbreak can be impossible to eradicate. In the worst cases the only solution is complete rock removal or even full a tank breakdown!
Thankfully nature has a clever way of dealing with pesky aiptasia. Berghia nudibrachs consume aiptasia not only for substance but also as a means of defense. These slugs use the stinging cells of aiptasia that make other fish and invertebrates adverse to eating aiptasia. These innovative creatures will consume aiptasia and readily spawn in your aquarium.
We now have large (3/4" size), medium (1/2" size) and small (1/4" size) Berghia in stock! Watch your Aiptasia woes get literally gobbled up with these little guys.
