Bergia Nudibranch are destroying aiptasia

[tobster]

My QT tank was literally overrun with aiptasia. It was so bad they were attaching to the glass because there was no room on the sand or live rock I keep in there.
I bought 2 nudi’s on 11/24 and there is probably 40+ in the tank now! See picture. That is one side of a rock still covered in aiptasia.
What am I going to do with all these guys when aiptasia is gone? I know they won’t survive without it.
Just wanted to share how efficient they are at cleaning up aiptasia.

I would if I knew more reefers in the area. May just try to catch them and take back to LFS once they finish.

Yeah sell them, they are pricy. I just ordered a handful for my tank due to a light infestation that is starting to get out of hand. I’m hoping they take care of. I understand if not heavily infested they may not establish-l all that well in a larger tank. I’m hoping they do and wipe them out as aptasia is a pain

Yeah they were 25.00 each- not cheap. I was skeptical at first because I didn’t even see them after I put them in the tank for a few weeks and then it’s like they exploded over the last week.
Hopefully they work for you!

I spent over 250.00, 3 times, no luck, still over run with apatias, your lucky!

Wow that stinks! Yeah they tried to sell me 6 and I was skeptical so I went with just 2.

I have 6 arriving tomorrow. I hope to catch them and sell or give them away via FB marketplace.
