Question for those of you that have used Berghia in the past for Aptasia. I'm in a middle of an Aptasia outbreak thanks to Aptasia-X. I added 10 Berghia Nudibranch to my tank about three weeks ago and in a few days I'll receive another 5 with some eggs to place on the opposite side of the tank to help speed things along. The only fish I have that may eat the Berghia are a Melenarus and a Falco Hawkfish. The Melenarus is buried in the sand before lights out when the Berghia come out and he's the last one out in the morning so I don't think they'll cross paths, and I observed no swimming around or any hunting from the Hawkfish at night so I don't think he's a problem.
I know they take a while to do their thing, I've heard about 2 months or longer before you start to see a difference to the Aptasia population. I'd hate to waste time if the Berghia aren't doing anything, so how long should I wait before I go to my next option of using a Filefish?
