berghia nudibranch

[Nocare]

I have been culturing these guys for some months now and I am ready to start selling them.

Now they normal go for around $20 a peice and for the largest ones I will stick to that but for smaller sizes I will probably do $15. Local pickup only (currently) or drive to meet part way depending. If you buy a large amount (no exact number yet >4) I will drop the price to around 18 and 13 respectively.

You need a minimum of 2 and tell me your tank size and I will suggest an amount.
Note: I don't recommend them for a few aptasia they are only good for an infestation of 30 or more. You can get by with fewer than the recommended but your success rate will be lower and it wilt take far longer to clean the entire tank.

Also we can setup a one time cleanse if you have a delicate coral and you don't want to chemicaly kill the aiptasia and peppermint shrimp haven't worked.

I will only negotiate going lower for special circumstances since you are already saving the 30-40 you would spend on shipping, or if you make me some other sort of offer I can't refuse.

These guys are 100% safe and will work where nothing else has. I can even demo them for you if you like.

Glad you have success. What happens if you try to keep one in a small (<10 gallon) tank?

 

[Nocare]

It will survive fine but it will only eat one aiptasia per day so depending it could take a while. Also don't expect it to clean the tank permanently but it might

how many would i need for a 120 gallon tank?

 

[Nocare]

I would say 8 for best results and it will take a 1 or 2 months in order to clean the entire system. You can get away with less but it will require more time to clean the entire system.

I have a 120 and there are only 3 aiptasia left in it after I had over 200 of them. Can't uses peppermint shrimp cause my lionfish eats them. Finally no more weekly aiptasia x.

I want to add a note about these guys. It is not the initial adults that make the big diffrence. They are true hermaphridites and there offspring eat the small aiptasia before it can grow large enough to spread while the adults eat the large ones thus wiping out the aiptasia population. Also the baby's increase the number of adults to allow for faster cleaning if large aiptasia.

Without enough of the berghia they won't find eachother to mate and though the large aiptasia you can see with your eyes will eventually be eaten the smaller ones will be untouched since the adults can't find or reach them. Thus the adualts die off since they finished cleaning the tank only for your problem to reappear in a matter of weeks.

Lastly if you only have a few aiptasia left you may see your bergiah for the first time in a long time out and about searching. Just carefully remove them from the tank glass or the rock and place them next to the the one of the few remaining aiptasia. I use my hand to blow water past them till they fall. Scraping them off will hurt them.

Man... I would like to get a couple but I seem to not have any aiptasia.

 

[Nocare]

Lol no aiptasia lucky you. They are cool to watch in my breeding tank specily when they all gather In one spot to make a giant ball

Are there any fish that eat these guys? Wrass? Hawk fish?

 

[Nocare]

Only if they are night time hunters and even then they will probably find morsalss that taste better since the stinging cells from aiptasia stay in the skin the the nudibranch. Coral banded and sally light foots will apparently eat them I have both in my tank and I'm aiptasia free now.

The guy that is a big problem is the peppermint shrimp. Otherwise they should be fine

 

[Nocare]

I need to make a clarification for everyone. The larger nudibranchs do not eat more aiptasia than the smaller ones. They just eat the larger aiptasia anemones. The offspring are the important ones. They lay hundreds of eggs every day and the microscopic nudibranchs you get will kill far more than the original adults ever could in there lifespan.

Buy the smaller guys and maby get one large one. Hurts your wallet less and still gets the job done.

I am now including a free pippette for handling the nudibranchs. Also after several sales i have decided that it will be $13 per nudibranch if you order 4 or more.
