But are there Aiptasia eating Nudi's? If so does anyone have experience with them? I only have between 7-10 that I can see but most I can not get to. Thanks!

There is one. I can't remember the name of it though. I'm sure somebody else will chime in here. The problem is, that's all they eat. Once the aptasia is gone, it will die unless you move it to another tank or sell it.

I bought 6 peppermint shrimp at Nemos that were supposed to be the aptasia eating kind. Cleaned my aptasia right up. It was great.

They might be an alternative for you. And they are all still just fine! I can count them when i feed and there are still six after months.

They are Berghia nudibranch; you would of had to of been very lucky for them to wander their way into your tank. As far as I have read there are NO accounts of this species eating ANYTHING other than aptasia. Hence the death after starvation; best to buy them and once you are confident the outbreak is done sell them or trade them to another member of ARC; im sure plenty of us have aptasia.

yea youre much better off getting a peppermint shrimp instead cause they wont die after the aptasia are gone. but also because if you dont want it afterwords you can still catch it. with the berghia nudis they are tiny and almost impossible to find once they are in your rocks

I had a pretty bad aptasia problem in my 60 cube. Bought 3 peppermint shrimp and they obliterated the aptasia in about 2 weeks.

Thanks folks. I will try the peppermint route. I assume my Foxface (only fish) is not a shrimp eater...
