Berghia nudibranches locally?

The only place I have seen them is Reefready, but there is a waiting list. I would like one as well. I found my 1st aptasia in my tank.
 
James (Photon) was experimenting with them awhile back. Not sure if he still has them or not, but the last I heard he wasn't too satisfied with the results he was getting. There's an extensive thread on this forum if you do a search for it. I've used a Klein's Butterfly and haven't seen any aiptasia since, although it does like to munch on leathers. Justin used a copperband butterfly, but I didn't have enought comfort about being able to get it to eat.
 
I just picked this one up...I had the store owner do a test feed to see if it eats mysid shrimp and ocean nutrition and it did.

That's the Klein's I have. Haven't had any problem with aiptasia since. I'm curious to know if yours is a nipper at all... the only thing mine's bothered is a toadstool leather, which I was warned about. I never had any problem at all getting him to eat.
 
So far so good. My tank is all SPS except for a couple zoo's and one LPS. I'll keep an eye just in case...
