Aiptasia and nudibranch slugs

[thompson2224]

Ive begun to see a few aiptasia anenomes in my tank so I bought a few nudibranch snails to take them out. They reproduce very fast and once the aiptasia is gone they end up dying so if anyone else has an aiptaisa problem or would like a few once my aiptasia is gone id sell them to you pretty cheap. They are quite expensive for slugs, theres only a few places that sells them online and they run around $10-20 then you will have to pay $20-30 shipping. Id imagine my aiptasia should be gone within the next month but I should have enough snails to be able to sell by the first week of may. I will sell them for $5 if you can come pick them up or will trade for frags, pods, refugium algae or whatever.

you must have a small tank if your able to pick them out.

 

[thompson2224]

No not that small of a tank. I just know these things well and know that once you start seeing them that's when you need to get them more aiptasia

ya you have less than 5 days and they will starve. hope you have enough to feed them till they start laying some eggs. maybe you can borrow some live rock with lots of aiptasia to feed them long enough.

I was planning on doing the same. However, I couldn't find these things for the life of me. They literally disappeared.

 

[thompson2224]

I knew that might be an issue so I put a few in a separate tank and brought some aiptaisa in to it so they could eat. These ones I can see perfectly and am waiting for them to repopulate

 

[madadi]

nice, sounds like things are going well. hope soon you have some egg pictures for us haha.

Are these called berghia nudibranch? I have a lot of colonial hydroids in my tank. It looks very similar to aiptasia. Brown in color. Was wondering whether they would eat them.

 

[thompson2224]

Im not sure on that. I think the only thing berghia nudibranches eat are aiptasia
