In my excitement, I ordered 5 Berghia for my 80 gallon DT and recurved then today. They were acclimated and added today. I’ve already see one Aiptasia is gone.

However...reading in the last few hours, people are saying peppermint shrimp eat them. I have one in my tank.

Is this a guaranteed snack for them? It now seems like I should yank the peppermint if I can find him.

Has anyone had success with both or is this a lost cause?
 
I would try to catch and rehome the peppermint shrimp. It is true they like to eat berghia nudibranch amongst other things
