Berghia nudibranch / valentini puffer

[mattrob]

Hi All,

Thought I'd see if anyone can help me with some advice.

I have a significant aiptasia problem (life got in the way a bit) and as I have a valentini puffer peppermint shrimp are out.

Tried boiling water and Joe's juice but knock one down and 5 more spring up.

So I have some berghia nudibranch coming tomorrow, now I have a small 25l tank from before I got my current tank that I have set up. With main tank bio media, rock and water.

My question is, I can see 2 options.

1. Put the valentini into the small tank for a few days to get the berghia settled. Then put him back in

2. Put some aiptasia into the small tank, add the berghia to that for a few weeks to build the population a bit then put them in the main tank one night.

My concerns are the small tank is going to stress my puffer, but if I don't separate him from the berghia, I'm expecting them to end up an expensive meal.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for any help

I think number two sounds much more difficult to sucessfully pull off.

Why are peppermint shrimp out? I have a Valentini and peppermint shrimp and have never had an issue.

I assumed they would get eaten as we feed him shrimp both live and frozen as part of his diet
