Need Berghia's, won't travel-

[drainbamage]

-but don't mind them getting some frequent flyer miles... :wink:

So before I break down and buy peppermints, what's the best (cheapest) place to pick up Berghia's from? For some reason a tank that had zero aiptasia somehow has them popping up all over the eggcrate :neutral: would rather not risk peppermints in it as it's largely LPS's and zoa's, and I've seen both munched by hungry pepp's :cry:

im having the same problem.. only on rocks that i boiled and even baked in the oven at 400 degrees for 30+ min... this stuff is tough!!!

Get a copper band butterfly fish.

There's a local person here that breeds them (berghia)... I run into them every now and then... PM me if you'd like me to try to acquire you any... more than happy to give it a go..

Sending PM's to all those who PM'd me wanting berghia.

if your ever on the east coast let me know. they are actually fun to raise, i think i posted a write up here, just order like 4 or 5 and then set up a breeder tank till you get the population explosion (should be about 2 months) and then you can release a large number into your tank and have a better chance at success.

I've gotten them from Jeremy before and was pleased with the purchase!

Hey Brian - This is the place i use but its in Florida and not sure how much the shipping is gonna cost for ya...for me its the best deal. Welcome to ReefTown

K... Two people called me on this and didn't follow through, so please let me lay a couple things out. They aren't mine... nor my "buddy's"... they come from a local hobbyist that I tracked down. I am not out to make $ on this deal, so am not marking things up. As such I expect people to cough up the scratch before I even attempt to contact this person... the prior two communications have already allowed me to look like a tool with the "yeah I want some... now I don't" routine. I would just buy some, but have zero aiptasia.
I know how hard they can be to find... and how infuriating aiptasia can be... so this is why I extend this offer to my fellow R2R reefers...
(deep breath)... With that out of the way, last I heard from them the price was $12 a piece. Picking up about 5 of them or more would make it worth their time to deal with me and my drive time. I don't know what overnight shipping is... but they're ~0.5" long and wouldn't need a huge bag. My zip is 98104.
