The ultimate aiptasia predator!
Add 3 berghias initially, then 1 per 10 gallons.
In the ongoing battle against aiptasia, a notorious pest in reef aquariums, introducing berghia nudibranchs offers a natural and effective solution. By adding these specialized predators to your tank, we aim to create an environment conducive to an infestation of berghia that will target and consume the aiptasia population.
Once a berghia discovers an aiptasia, it signals other berghia to join the attack, coordinating their efforts to prey on this unwanted invader. As they consume the aiptasia, the berghia undergo a color change, turning dark to indicate their successful feeding. Following this feast, they will begin to copulate, laying their eggs in the vicinity of the previously consumed aiptasia. This reproductive strategy ensures the continuation of their population, further enhancing the biological control of aiptasia in your reef aquarium. By harnessing the natural behaviors of berghia, we can effectively manage and reduce aiptasia infestations in a sustainable manner.
