Did Berghia work for you?

I've heard of many home run stories, but then, somehow for some people they there is no Fairytale ending. I am trying to get a better understanding of outcomes and reasons for successes or failures.

The berghia's do a good job of eliminating the aptaisia's in the display tank, when the aptaisia are gone the berghia's will die. The problem is, the berghia's can never find all the aptaisia's in the overflow, the sump, the pipes, etc.... so they start to spread again. It is a never ending cycle of adding berghia's basically annually.

Yeah, I figured this was the case. I think in part Aptasia reproduce easily (even from a single cell I think) so I would think the Berghia don't even eat every cell, thus the Aptasia will come again anyway. Still, it will be nice to have them less often and in less numbers and be able to "control" them.
