How many berghias should I get? My tank Is 60x30x18

I have an auto feeder that feeds a pinch of pellets twice a day and I feed frozen once. is that too much?
I got 7 for a 48-26-24. That should be enough. I put 2 in overflow and 5 in DT. I think the 2 in the overflow got sucked out lol

I manually feed so that the peppermint don get to it. That will force them to eat the aptasia first. I learned that the hard way, once they figure out that they don't have to eat the aptasia and get fed instead they tend to wait to be fed.

If you decide to go with the berghia take out anything that's a threat to them...size of the tank doesn't really matter,what matters is how bad the aiptasia problem really is...

Adding the nudibranches and or peppermint shrimp into a tank with established wrasses ain't going to work. I'll give them 5% chance of surviving.

I have a couple of peppermints in the sump. If I notice any smaller rocks/frags with aptasia, in the sump they go for 2-3 days. Aptasia gone. I do have some aptasia on some of the larger rocks in the display. Still trying to figure out how to get rid of them.
