Have they started munching yet? :grinning-face-with-smiling-eyes:
Not that I am aware of yet. Dinkins reccomended the 3pack for a 60 gallon, so I am sure I will see a difference by the end of this week if they are still alive!

Don't worry, from what I've read it's quite normal for them to do that.
Yup! I am sire they are doing their job while I am sleeping.

Wow Walker that's good, the hunt will begin soon, in 11 or 12 days (I think that's how long it takes for them to be born) you have a new generation

I just realized I never posted a good picture of my stylophora after the polyps have grown in.

Roughly 2 months ago:

Happy Friday everyone!!

My tank is officially 4 months old today!

The amount of eggs I have seen from the nudibranchs is insane. Each day I find a new "batch" (yes I still don't know what to call them)! Once these hatch I am sure my aiptasia is going to be gone in no time.

Luckily, the coral place I go to is on the lookout for berghia nudibranchs, so, when I see my aptasia is gone I will try to catch them and bring them over to him. It will make me feel better since I know I at least got some out so they didn't have to die. And maybe I will get a free coral!

What’s your favorite fish in the reefing hobby?
Thats a tough question. I got to go with butterfly fish. Some of them are truly stunning. Some wrasses come very close to being #1, too.

Thank you. Some of the prettiest fish are butterflies. It’s so unfortunate most aren’t reef safe.

I think it’s so cool how you got the berghia to lay eggs. I can’t wait until they start demolishing those pesky aiptasia.

How fast did the aiptasia multiply in your tank? I saw a patch beside one of your corals.
