They are common gobstoppers and their discharge habit is common. They do this more when under high nutrient conditions or when adapting to different tanks. They do look like they need more light.

There are really too many different kinds on that rock, and being tall growers the gobstoppers will likely bully the rest, especially the utter chaos in the upper right that don't like to fight for territory. When things get all established you might want to frag some off the rock so they can all have room.

Ya I've been needing to do that just looking for placement on each of them. Thanks!

Bergdhia nudibranch strictly eat aiptasia.

How does one just show up one day? I guess they probably move around since they are anemones. Should I cut it out and toss it or just throw it in the frag tank?

If you can. Cut that part off with the nem on it and toss it. If not it will spread eventually.

Oh. Nothing else? Well can't get one if I just have one aphasia anemone haha

If you want that to change, just poke it a couple times and you'll wake up to 9 of them lol.

Many nudibranchs have extremely specific diets. Some species eat one or two types of coral. Zoa-eating nudibranchs are particularly bad to get in your tank- hard to spot and they like a coral we frequently have. Berghias eat aiptasia and nothing but, so, yes, you shouldn't get them for a tank with one aiptasia. Unless given away after they eat all the aiptasia, they'll starve. Plus, they're pricey. Berghias are what you get to strip a tank with a major infestation of all its aiptasia. They'll breed in your tank, and get rid of any number of anemones eventually.
