Aiptasia Eating Nudibranches

[Tigger Bounce]

Does anyone have any aiptasia eating nudibranches that I can buy or trade for? I have a ton of different frags if you are interested. I also have a RBTA that you can have in trade. I am worried about getting them shipped from Texas due to the heat.

Anyone have any experience with these critters? Good or Bad?

Thanks!
Jason

Wow a RBTA for trade. That's Awesome. I used 2 pep. shrimp and they ate all 8 aiptasia in less than 2 days.

you can get livestock shipped to you as long as its packaged properly with ice packs etc. also make sure the package comes in on time where there is no wait. i have never had a problem with livestock shipped in summer months, all arrived alive. just my .02. im sure someone local can help you out though. ive never had to deal with aiptasia yet, knock on wood. if get pep. shrimp be sure its a true pep. shrimp as i remember a thread discussing which will eat them. hopefully someone can direct you to that thread.

I would be careful about Texas cause of all the storms, etc.

ive only bought out of california and have had no problems at all, not sure about other states so wanted to clarify.

Thank you for all of the replies! I have tried pepermint shrimp and they seem to disappear after a week or two. Perhaps it is my RBTA's (probably not a good combination). I had a Copperband Butterfly that did a great job with few aiptasia that I had for a long time, but it recently passed away. Since then, the aiptasia have really started to multiply. My CBB was the first fish that I lost in over 2 years. Anyone have any aiptasia eating nudibranches in their tank? Can anyone spare a few? I guess I can always buy and quarantine another CBB fish. Thanks.
