We have a few large 3/4" sized Berghia Nudibranchs available. Click Here!

Or copy and paste: http://www.fishnreef.com/nudibranch-berghia-aptisia-eaters.html

Nudibranch Berghia only consume Aiptasia and nothing else. They are the natural predators of Aiptasia Anemones. They reproduce and can eradicate the Aiptasia from your tank. Captive Grown.

How many? About 8 per 100 gallons for heavy infestation (50+ Aiptasia).

Larger 1/2" bergia are better for high flow SPS tanks while smaller 1/4" bergia are fine for lower flow tanks. Large bergia will begin to lay eggs almost immediately in aquariums and consume Aiptasia more rapidly than smaller bergia.

Release the Berghia in a low flow area or switch off pumps as you release them. Do not release directly on Aiptasia. Place them nearby. They will find the Aiptasia.

While you can see Berghia during the lights on cycle, they are nocturnal predators and generally only eat when lights are out. Contact us if you have any questions.

Will these get eaten by fairy wrasses or swissguard basslets?

I never had a problem with fairy wrasses. Berghias are the only way to go if you have aptasia. I had well over 200 aptasia in a 150 cube. I released 15 berghias and 3 months later not one aptasia was left. Its been 2 years aptasia free.

About 10 larger berghia will consume larger aiptasia at a rate of 1-3 daily and pretty much immediately begin laying eggs. These babies come in tackling the smaller baby aiptasia. So about 200 aiptasia in about 3 months, considering offspring, sounds about right.
