Anyone interested in a group buy for Berghia nudibranchs?

sweet sounds good! I had like 2 aiptasia a few months back. I used aiptasia-x a few times now I have 20+ and some are stinging my corals. Send me a PM when you have them ready and I will come down or meet you or w/e.

Good news: THEY ARE HERE!

I have them temperature acclimating now. The other good news is that there was no extra shipping charge! Sending out individual PMs in the next few minutes.

I've sent PMs to everyone who said they wanted in. I do have a few extras so let me know if you want any. They were a little cheaper than we originally forecast ($10/each).

Be sure to read the acclimation guide from Reeftown on introducing these to your tank.

Sorry...one more note. Jeff at Reeftown recommended that I not release them into my QT with aiptasia rock...his comment was that I would never be able to get them back out of the rock to distribute them. So, I'll be keeping them in a smaller container and hand-feeding them some harvested aiptasia (collecting should be fun...).

So, the prospect of later catching and passing them on to others in the club is probably not feasible.

If anyone from up north here is going down to get these I would love to take some off your hands. Please PM me if someone can/is doing this.

Very cool!

I plucked three big aiptasia (at least an inch across) and tossed them into the little holding tank...within 1/2 hour the Berghia were all crawling over the anemones and an hour after that there was one small bit of one anemone left...

They're big enough in my rock tank that I almost went to the garage for the chainsaw...

I was a bit worried this afternoon because about half of the little buggers were floating around on the surface rather than clinging to the sides of the tank like they were doing yesterday. I sent Jeff at reeftown an email asking about it...he answered me right back (as always) and said:

"I heard back from him already just while I was responding to you...

"Yes, they will crawl on the surface of the water and also lay eggs there. The only place you can collect the eggs, safely."

The interesting follow-on was that I had observed little white threads floating on the surface as well ... I think I'm going to be a papa!

(I'm going to go collect the strands now and move them into yet another small nursery tank with an aiptasia rock and no water movement to see how that works out.)

nice ....i remember hearing they breed quite often especially in larger numbers

 

[projectx]

Nice, you could become the local bergia breeder

...raising the pretty little anemones for fun and profit?
