ReefPiracy · Jul 5, 2017

Berghia are aiptasia terminators. They will work over a few months to rid you of aiptasia.
10 berghia for 75 plus shipping and paypal fees (overnight Fedex)
5 berghia for 45 plus shipping and paypal fees
Will be shipped in cooler and water tight cups
I would release berghia after lights out or into a tank where limited predators are able to access them.
Predators to Berghia:
Wrasses
Long nosed hawkfish
Peppermint shrimp
Camel shrimp
Some brittle starfish
Large Sally Lightfoot
Large Green legged hermit
Bristle worms

I know any larger crabs may go after them. Even with a predator doesn't mean they won't make it. Just don't release them directly in front of predators. Wait til night and let them walk out of cup onto rock filled aiptasia.

I need some. Red Sea reefer 525xl 140 gallons. How many do you think I need. Aiptasia infestation is moderate to advanced. Maybe 50 or so aiptasia. I haven't counted. Most aiptasia are very small as I keep using aiptasia x but I feel like I'm fighting a loosing battle with the aiptasia x. Plan is is use aiptasia x one last time then add these guys.

Thoughts?

I know the feeling trying to manual remove to no end. If you find a few early on and remove, no issues, but when they start to spread watch out. When you use aiptasia X but don't inject correctly, they will spread and you have to find each one. Not always easy as aiptasia hide any and everywhere. The berghia crawl into all the cracks, no aiptasia left unfound.
What fish do you have?
How fast do you want them to work? I would say 5-10 would work, does take time as they have to eat and breed. So a few extra will speed it up. Still a waiting game but no need to do anything but wait and watch.

If at any time they are out in open wrasse may attack them. It is possible if Berghia hide well and you release at night.
