I have a local dude but he was out so I went with reef town. They had a ton (I got like 20) at a normal price, all showed up alive and were on the large side. Took about a week from order to arrival

I'm 100% positive my wrasse would eat them if I get any. Got some micro bristle stars, dug them up and ate them, any small pea size or smallersnail, gone. If I'm late for his breakfast, all snails are on the menu.

He watches me and waits for me to flush critters out through cleaning or moving things.

Knock on wood no aiptasia yet, cause I don't know what utilitarian crew to get if I did.

Real love/hate relationship with him....lol

$85 each is normal, right?

Seems like it these days. I used to get them for 5 bucks each. Now they're like breedable gold.

Yep

 

[stoney7713]

Yep

Reef town is the cheapest I've seen at $16.99 for a 1/2 inch slimy slug. Still that's bonkers.

It sure feels like it! I think i paid like 220 for 20 and free shipping? They are just so hard to find especially in big quantities.

Yup even local people are charging like 15-20$ which blows my mind

There's that guy on Facebook bragging about breeding them, then begging for free aiptasia rocks to keep them fed, then charging for them. Or trading for frags. He was the local guy that's out?

Wouldn't be surprised, he messaged me on FB after making a post asking for some. Thats pretty hilarious though

I got some peppermint shrimp to take care of my aiptasia. My wrasse loved them and ate all of them almost immediately. I am also sure he would eat berghia, so I went with a copperband. My copperband took a while to start eating them but eventually wiped all of my aiptasia out within a few days once he did.

Here is a fun read on breeding Aptsia and Bergia we are trying this also LOL

How to Propagate Aiptasia...

A uncommon subject from an uncommon reefer, you may wonder why do we want to culture aiptasia wend this is one of the primary pests in our hobby since the very beginning . The answer is fairly easy. By understanding aiptasia propagation we can a)...

Any shrimp is a goner in my tank, wouldn't last ten minutes and I've had bad luck with copper bands. Nudis always seem to do the trick and never have to worry about them eating other things.

On a different note... Anyone keep other nudis for fun?? They are one of my favorite things to see diving with all their different colors and sizes but i almost never see them in the hobby outside of lettuce/berghia

So what eats the shrimp in your tank, a wrasse? I have still considered getting a few berghia and breeding them in a well established spare 29g tank that I have setup so that I can add them to my tanks and if a few get eaten it isn’t a big deal.

I have one tank that still has aiptasia and I suspect adding a butterfly would be an issue because that tank has a lunar wrasse that is fairly aggressive in it, and I know a shrimp would only last a minute.

Shark and stingray looove shrimp, every time I've added one it's like they think it's dessert and they don't last long lol. Well it sounds like Shane might have some in the future, maybe he'll throw in a few berghia with the next sale!
