Looking for berghia

[Corallus]

Happy New Year everyone!
My tank has slowly but surely become something of an aiptasia farm, and I’ve had good luck using berghia to fight them back in the past. Does anyone have some available? I’m in SF, but willing to drive a bit.

I've had really good luck with Kenny's peppermint shrimp if you don't have any predators. However the berghia are better for getting into overflows to eat etc.

I stopped breeding them for the moment. I ran out of aiptasia to feed them. Slowly growing out my aiptasia farm again.

But recently I used a aiptasia eating filefish and two Stripeys to get rid of my aiptasia in my Wrasse tank, worked wonders.

My aiptasia problem really started when I lost my copper banded butterfly a little while back (came with the tank, he was awesome, ate pellets out of my fingers and lived in my care for a few years). Been thinking of trying a filefish, but my tank is mostly softies, mushrooms and other ‘nems. Has yours nipped at anything besides aiptasia?

My tank is only softies, shrooms, a frogspawn, Christmas worm tree rock and CSB, haven't noticed anything irritated ever since I added it a few months ago.

I had an aiptasia issue for a bit. First released a bunch of Bergia. Got rid of a lot of them. But I had one big cojone left. Got a filefish -devoured it in 18 hours -yay but then went after my softies (demolished a bunch of zoas in 24 hrs) and was removed.

The big one grew back in 3 months. Got a bunch of peppermints-failed to get rid of it and most of them got demolished by my circulation pump.
Lastly I got a molly miller blenny from Biota. Took a while (it was really tiny when I got it) but eventually it disappeared!
