I think they will be fine, like the other poster said, it will take time for them to populate and then you will see some.

Unlikely. The nudis only come out at night, and the only time I saw a fish go after one was because it was blowing around in the current (the fish spit it out). Berghai do a fantastic job on aiptasia, but you won't likely see them or any aiptasia reduction for 6+ weeks, and that is if you start with nudis big enough to breed right away. If you want to see one, wait 6 weeks or so and then wait a couple hours after your tank is dark and look around with a flashlight. They are still hard to find but once you train yourself how to look for, you will see 1 or more. Also don't think you are going to find a ton. Typically by the time I can find 6 or so with the method described, I've already seen a significant reduction in aiptasia.
