Another Nudi Pic

Bergia v. detects an Aiptasia in the vicinity:

Scouts for the best attack plan:

Aiptasia is history..

i am not planning to keep one myself, but i have always been curious as to how people aquire these. did it come from a lfs? was it a hitch hiker? did you order it online? they just seem so delicate i have a hard time picturing how they are transported etc.

Hey Bang Guy- do those berghias gome in shades of light brown(almost white)

 

[bang guy]

Yes. They seem to steal nematocysts and Zoox from the Aiptasia. So, if you have brown Aiptasia I would expect the Bergia to turn brownish.

The reason i ask is because i am constantly pulling those out of my tank b/c they are eating some of my zooanthids

You have to remember that Nudibranch are very specialized with their diet. Yours is defiately a seperate specie even though they look quite similar. I would guess that yours may even specialize on a particular color of Zoo?
