Berghia Nudibranches

[WillM]

I'm thinking of going this route to eliminate my aiptasia and wondered if anyone has dealt with this outfit before I give them my CC info:

If not, then if anyone has had success getting them let me know where you bought them from.

Fairly busy, and it's cold, so I'm not interested in splitting an order, but I would like to get some feedback before I pull the trigger on them.

Thanks,
will

I have purchased dry goods with no issues, if you change your mind about splitting an order let me know

Thanks Jorge! I'm still considering. Just tired of killing CBBs. The 2nd one jumped while I was on my honeymoon and the aiptaisia are getting to critical mass now.

I have dealt with them and found them reputable. I would buy from them again without hesitation.

Just placed an order for 15 of them for my sump. I ordered a CBB for the DT and he finally started eating them. So, this should be an ideal low flow location for the nudibranches. I'll let you know how it works out

Also just a heads up that Premium Aquatics is having a pretty big sale on MH and T5 bulbs. I got T5 Geismann 48" Actinic + bulbs for $16! The MH lights are selling quick and some are sold out, but figured I'd let folks know if they need to re-up it seems like a good deal and the prices are about 40% cheaper than anywhere else I've found.

I rec'd them and acclimated them in the sump with the lights out as per instructions last week. Haven't seen any of them since then. I'll keep posting and hopefully they will do the job. My CBB has the DT clean, but he's not eating anything else

If these things do the trick on the sump I may reorder some more for the display tank if the CBB doesn't make it. I will say that there is a lot of information about how berghia aren't able to withstand reef tank currents and just from my personal experience they were tenaciously hanging onto the cup they were shipped in. The little pipette for gently blowing them off was useless. I just had to submerge the cup on its side and weight it down with LR until they all climbed out on their own. I think that the main problem in my DT will be more them getting picked on by the wrasse and other predatory feeders. They do a pretty good job of hiding out though. I saw them the first day and haven't seen any since. They are supposed to be nocturnal so if I put them in during the night they might be able to stay a step ahead of the predators.
