I had a couple a little smaller then a baseball when fully opened the Klein took care of them. Took a week or two before he started eating them but once he did it took like a week to clear all my aptasia

Berghia nudibranch is suppose to be the best. Thats all they eat. Someone was asking for them in the classifieds a few days ago, hunting for a local supplier. I'd see what came of that. Otherwise http://www.saltyunderground.com/ always has them

Be warned, copperbands are known to eat zoas as well as other anemones (such as bubble tips). I personally don't think that getting a fish is a good solution to aptasia. You can rid it from your tank just as easily by injecting them with kalk paste or aptasia X and adding a couple peppermint shrimp to clean up what you couldn't reach.

Locally Neptunes should have Berghaus in a few weeks but if you want to go in on a order with me we can split shipping on it

Never owned one myself, but scared myself away from them after hearing stories on reef central that they went after all sorts of coral including: zoas, acans, favia, nems, sps, etc. Some of the ones I read even indicated that happening and the aptasia being basically untouched. Not worth the risk IMO.

Right on, that is what I thought. I've never used them but have heard good things. From what I've read, the big drawback to Nudi's is that many fish like to eat them.
