I got my last batch from Ellis. I think total I got 5 of the berghias. They were small, about the size of a rice grain which I wasn't too happy about.

What's the acclimation process? I did float the bag and did a routine slow drip acclimation. Turned off the flow, and added them all in the same rock. And never saw them again. LOL.

Did you get them while they were at the show, or was it shipped? And how much were they?

If you need to move those berghias, let me know. Do you have a lot of aiptasia? They need aiptasia to survive.
I got them at the show. But they are just up north,( in wine country) I would imagine you would get them in a day or two priority mail. They sat in a piss cup for three days in my booth.
Also I never had a filefish or copperband touch my clams or zoas.

You may have been lucky that your FF/copperband didn't eat your corals. Or maybe you have too many corals and you didn't even notice. LOL.

I like the wine country pricing on berghia and shipping cost within CA, especially their bulk orders costs. That's attractive.

Or if you are done with the berghias and aiptasia in your tank, I can get them off of you.

Well sometimes a group order can work. I usually buy mine at Saltys
Saltys is out of stock on the bigger ones. I think I'm going to try to get bigger ones instead of the 0.25". I tried those size before, and did not have good luck. Maybe I need a smaller tank for them to find each other and breed. Or they are so small, they get picked off easily.
