UK tank bred Berghia eat aiptasia thats all they do and they don't stop until they have terminated them all.No chemicals, no syringes or tweezers. Glass anemones (Aiptasia spp.) are prolific pests in coral reef aquaria. These anemones have powerful stings that discourage full polyp extension and local colonization of ornamental corals and zooanthids. Berghia is the most effective means of Aiptasia eradication because Berghia feed exclusively on Aiptasia. Less effective means of Aiptasia control include the Copperband Butterfly (Chelmon rostratus) and the Peppermint Shrimp (Lysmata wurdemani), both of which will sometimes graze on ornamental corals or eat in preference to Aiptasia. Effective and quick eradication of Aiptasia can be achieved by stocking one Berghia per 5 gallons of aquarium volume, depending on the number of Aiptasia present. It may be economical to seed the aquarium with three or four Berghia to begin a culture, since these sea slugs are simultaneous hermaphrodites and will mate upon most encounters. It is generally a good idea to cover filter intakes with foam or coarse sponge to prevent the unintended death of Berghia. Want to know where you can get them. e-mail bergermeister@berghia-uk.com |
