Aptasia eating filefish

[spstimie]

Pretty sure my psuedochromis ate my berghia in the 90. Seem to be doing OK in my biocube, but I'm impatient. Anyone seen one locally for sale?

I have berghia nudis located in Windsor but I’m vacation right now.

I got a dozen, but I think my psuedochromis ate the ones in my big tank. Not worth paying to add more. They were small, so maybe they're just taking longer than I'd like.

give it two months. I had 1/2in ones and didn’t see anything for atleast 6 weeks. Literally didn’t see them and the next thing I know they are everywhere.

ya, they are one of those things that always disappear right after you put them in. You will think they died off but then a few months later you suddenly look at the tank and realize all the aptasia are gone.
These guys are nocturnal and very small, so unless you are looking closely at night with a red light and a magnify glass. you likely wont see them at all. They also take quite a while to populate and spread before they become effective, so just give them time.

Good to know. First time I've had to use them in all my time in the hobby. Taking all the livestock from my father's reef that hadn't been well kept in a while.
