It actually takes quite a while for the Berghias to get going on the aptasia. Most people don't notice anything for at least the first month. The usually think the Nudis are dead. Unfortunately a lot of the times people end up trying something else in that amount of time like getting rid of the rock or putting something else in the tank to eat the aptasia. They don't get a chance to see how well they work.

Well I saw your Berghia's swarming an aiptasia so I know they do the job.... but for me, they just disappeared never to be seen again. I didn't get rid of anything, just lived with a few aiptasia and try not to over feed... I occasionally nuke one if it is too close to something.
