Looking for some aptasia eating berghia near Anaheim asked multiple lfs and out of stock at whole salers rn wondering if there’s any local breeders or just a hobbyist needing to re home thanks

Ellis Aquatics had some a few weeks back. They respond quick on facebook.

They won't ship and I don't like to go to Compton so I haven't bought any yet but I know people love that shop.

I had a friend pick up a few from them, but those things were so tiny that I doubt if they'll survive if you have a healthy pod population. They may have been 2-3mm long. They really shouldn't sell them when they're that small. I know Age gets them too, but haven't called them.

I stopped by Age Of Aquarium today they did not have any and said they wouldn't be ordering them. They don't sell fast enough for them. Ellis had some larger ones available but they might have sold out and by large I mean 2-3 CM. I picked up three a couple weeks back still see two. I don't think that's going to do the job though.

Well it’s for my nano 17 gal where there’s no wrasses or anything that’s eats them so honestly I was just trying to find 2-5 of them since the aptasia population isn’t huge either I’m considering buying them online since I did find a store that carry’s but I’m skeptical of them being shipped if they’d make it or not considering there tiny

All you need are two adults to fertilize the eggs and you’ll have more, but it will take a few weeks if not longer. I think 1-2 months is about how long it takes for them to build up a healthy population to be impactful against aiptasia. I keep looking for the tiny ones that I got, but haven’t seen any signs of them ever since I put them in. I really need a fridmani in there to control the pods.

I've purchased from Salty Underground a couple of times and they've always made it.

I purchased some from them a few years ago and they were shipped in pretty low salinity and not what they stated on their website. None of them survived after the first day and I reached out to them and never got a reply. Reef Town is another online source from St. Louis.
