Sponsor Glare Posted February 12, 2004 Sponsor Share Posted February 12, 2004 Your pic is not clear but it may be a berghia. These things are known to be aptisia eaters and is actually good for your tank, that is if it is one. Read in an article that these creatures are cultured for the purpose of introducing them into an aptisia infested tank to eliminate these pests.

SRC Member Tanzy Posted February 12, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted February 12, 2004 Someone who as an aiptasia outbreak but doesn't keep softies might be interested to give this guy a try at eating the pest anemone. When removing, check for egg masses on the corals. If the eggs remain they will come back with a vengence. Quote Warning: Heavy handed moderator in operation.

SOMEONE HELP. As far as I know, these are specialised feeders and prey on aptisia only. As long as there is no more aptisia, they will die off.
