eMac’s Berghia Diary

[Emac909]

Haven’t dosed any sense the beginning of January. My tank is going crazy with aiptaisa cause I’ve been feeding so much to get my no3 and po4 up. Been feeding 6 times a day.

I’ve caught one eating aptasia, they start at the base and bring it down. Takes longer than 1 hour on the one I have seen.

 

[jaxcarnage]

Are you feeding your tank phytoplankton? Aptasia love that stuff lol. I just went to war on with the aptasia in my tank

I’m not the right person so mention this but are you documenting your process?

Yea. This diary can go both ways. Can aiptasia harm nudibranch? Huh

Yes

 

[adayrit]

Huh . Are you sure? Lol aiptasia harm nudibranch?

 

[jaxcarnage]

Huh . Are you sure? Lol

not 100% certain as I still consider myself new to this and anyone is free to correct me but aptasia can kill Nudis (babies). However adult nudis will win the war

 

[adayrit]

Yea. I will trade you my aiptasia for your nudibranch 1:1 ratio ? Huh because nudibranch starve to death and so aiptasia starve to death too? Huh is this true dying from starvation?

 

[jaxcarnage]

My nudis are thriving in my sump where aptasia is growing everywhere. I do not mind aptasia growing in sump, my MD is clear of aptasia from what I can see.

I will gladly sell nudis once I see their food source is minimal. Members here are currently selling nudis for your aptasia problem reach out to them.

Yes aiptaisa will eat berghia. If you Google “raising berghia” there are years of documented cases of people seeing large aiptaisa eating berghia.

Also here’s a PSA to any of the active participating members here. I’ll gladly give cups full of aiptaisa away to anyone that is willing to make the trip out to B.F.E. CA. Meaning Perris CA.
I have so many aiptaisa I can supply an army of berghia

Yes I said FREE

Why the f— are people selling pests. It’s more stupid then people selling chaeto. The only thing stupider would be if people started selling AEFWs.

Found a few babies today that were the size of a grain of rice. I couldn’t get a good pic. Tomorrow I’m going to do a small water change and see if I can snap a few pics of the babies.

I’ve also found out that asterina starfish and mini brittle stars will eat berghia eggs.
