Berghai Nudibranch

[jfreeman]

Bought 8 of these today and they are no longer visible in the tank. Do you move out of site, maybe into the live rock?

 

[Eienna]

Yeah, they're small and great at squeezing into holes. You don't have peppermint shrimp, though, do you?

 

[jfreeman]

No, I don't have peppermint shrimp but I do have 1 long-nosed hawk fish in the tank. Thoughts?

 

[StevenBell]

Never heard of a hawkfish going for one but could be wrong.May be acclimating to the parameters or they may just like coming out at night.Check your tank with a flashlight tonight

 

[jfreeman]

Thanks. Any idea on how long they take to kill the Aiptasia?

 

[StevenBell]

How much aiptasia we talkin here?

 

[jfreeman]

I see about 7 of them.

How big is your tank? With eight, I imagine it will be devoured in no time flat. Can I have them when you're done? ;) J/K. I know they're not cheap.

 

[jfreeman]

34 gallons.

 

[StevenBell]

Bro you're good 2 go then!Theyll be gona in 2 shakes of a lambs tail!

 

[jfreeman]

Thanks. The Berghai have been in the tank for about 9 hours and no sign of any of the Aiptasia killed yet! Are we talking hours, days, or weeks? Just curious.

 

[Eienna]

Wow. You'd best line up a new home for them now - they're gonna need it sooner than you think.

What do you mean?

 

[StevenBell]

After they eat all the Aiptasia they have a chance of starving

 

[Eienna]

Aiptasia is all those guys eat. They'll starve to death once it's gone unless you find them a new home with a fresh supply posthaste.

 

[jfreeman]

Got it. But any idea how long it takes?

Thanks!!
