Berghia borrow

[Reefer Reboot]

Is there any possibility that someone near me might have a single Berghia Nudibranch that I could borrow/rent/buy/abscond with?:thinking-face: TIA!

Pretty sure that tank doesn't have enough aiptaisia for bergias to get a population going, 1 bergia doesn't do the job. They reproduce and subsequent generations make the results. Tank too clean, that slug will die before finding the aiptaisia, try something different

What you're not seeing is the back side of the rockwork where there are multiple Aiptasias. I'm not looking to propagate them. Once the Aiptasia are gone the Berghia can go to someone else, and so and so on.

I encourage you to prove me wrong, but I really don't think it will work like that. Its not like a fish that goes around eating aiptaisia until their gone. I've never seen one in my tank after adding 25 at a time. And it took 6-8 months before seeing any results. Idk their life expectancy, what predators are in your tank, etc. But if you try, at least get more than one and release them together. That way they at least have a chance at reproducing, as I'm 99% sure that's the only way they will accomplish the goal. Hopefully someone else chimes in, but I would put money on it that 1) you need more than one bergia. And 2) your tank doesn't have enough aiptaisia. I see your beautiful tank, Post pics of the aiptaisia
