Default Berghia Nudibranch - Aiptasia Munchers

Yea, they are easy to propigate, *so easy*, but the
problem is that the bergia eat them up so fast. When you
are trying to rase bergia to sell, sudenly you find that
you are running out of aiptasia. I've rased bergia before,
and ran into that problem. I'm now rasing them again, just
starting, and have developed a trade secret way of raising
the aiptasia. Time will tell how sucsesfull that is :-)

But yea, as esy as it is to grow aiptasia, it sounds odd
to be running out of, but those bergia eat them rather
quickly.

Visit your LFS I am sure most would be happy to give yu all the aip yu
care to remove and take home. I have a tank setup with nothing but
all the undesireables most folks remove from a display tank,
predominately aipstasia. I have some florescent aip that makes most
commonly available corals look like dull drab critters........I have
the aip in a tank with bristle worms and other unwanted critters and
its as interesting as any other tank I have is, sometimes more so. I
rarely pay any attention to this tank in regards to tests and water
changes, and it looks fantastic. Perhpaas gettng another tank setup
and start to propagate your own aip would be an option......but either
way you look at it, aip is not really all that demanding and is easy
to propagate under the bare minimum essentials......

I got a pair of these nudi's a week ago, rather than go through the
whole setup again, here's my post about them.

My problem is having enough of the aiptasia to feed the baby nudi's
which are due to hatch in 3-4 days. Anyone know of any ways to speed up
propagation of aiptasia?(besides Joes Juice!)

cheers,
