A school near me is aquaculturing salt life. They have raised dozens of Berghia, which are aiptasia eating nudibranches. They are a safe alternative to natural aiptasia control vs peppermint shrimp. All they eat is aiptasia, they won't pick at zoos, frags, etc. plus, they are really cool looking :)
I've asked the mods, and they've received permission from the admins for me to post this since a school is doing the aquaculturing, not a business. They don't have paypal set up yet, but are working on it. They are asking $15 each, or $12 if you buy more than 10, plus they are willing to ship. If you want some please let me know, and i can forward your email to them to set up shipping. The school is in New London CT.

Will they starve if they eat all the aiptasia? I may have an occasional one but I get rid of them quickly. Would a tank have to be pretty active with then to support one?

from what i've read on them, they will most likely never completely remove all the aptasia, but will prevent them from growing. I guess what happens is the LARGER aiptasia realize they are getting eaten, so they produce spores to reproduce. because these spores are easier to eat, the nudi's leave the mother aiptasia alone, and eat the babies. then they go back to the mothers. if you have enough nudis, then yes, they will eat all the aiptasia and then starve.
