Aipista Eating Nudibranch

[FlexLuthor]

My tank is just now breaking out in an extreme amount of aipista. They're literally springing up everywhere. Most of them are small, Does anyone have a Nudibranch, I can borrow, hopefully in the nj area?

please let me know.

Nudibranch? Why not get a peppermint shrimp, they're like $5

we recently did a group buy here for the nudi's, and they were a success in my tank. all the aiptasia is gone.

+1... No more aiptasia... :tub:

Peppermint shrimp sometimes eat corals( Acans, chalices, random LPS), you must get the shrimp hungry with small tank feedings inorder for them to be hungry enough to eat the aiptasia.


Nudibranch sometimes will not eat large aptasia, may not be able to find some aptasia, and may even die before they can get settled.

everything is a gamble in this hobby, I bought pepermint shrimps and didn't have any success with them.

yeah, always a 50/50 chances.. I had nudi but dont see them once i put them in..

 

[FlexLuthor]

i have one large aipista, that gave birth to like a jillion smaller than tear drop ones surrounding it. all the others are also small....
i dont want to let them grow bigger....

 

[FlexLuthor]

anyone actually have any of these available for me?

 

[coralcrazy]

just order them from salty underground....

its funny the nudibranch can reproduce rather quickly yet they sell for 15 dollars a piece and are 1/4 in to 1/2 in long.

I have just ordered from fellow reefer from other forum. I will get 20 berghia for $95 shipped. We could split or get some at prorated price if interested. One catch, we are on waitlist. Waitlist is 6-8 wks, could be earlier he told me. PM if interested.

I had an aiptasia problem in my 45g cube. I tried aiptasia x , Joe's juice, kalk etc. I added 3 peppermint shrimp and in a few days all of it was gone! And they never bothered any of my corals. Just make sure they are Caribbean shrimp since any other peppermint shrimp will not touch it
