Had a couple dozen Aiptasia pop up not long ago and decided that Berghias were my best bet for getting rid of them before they took over.
About 2 weeks ago I added 4 Berghias and as of this morning every Aiptasia that I was aware of is gone.

Here’s pics/video of the last one:

This was a couple of days ago:

And this was this morning:


I’m wondering if I should track down some more Aiptasia and put them in a container to hopefully catch however many Berghias I can so they can be re-homed somewhere that they’re needed?

I here that they may show up on the glass when they are searching for more Aiptasia to eat, which is when you should catch them and find them a new home.

If you can send them to another tank close by it is good encase after they leave you start seeing the anemones popping up from where they might be hiding in the dark corners of your system?
