Subject: Looking to Buy Berghia Nudibranchs
Posted: April 04 2025 at 9:07am

Hi there


I am a university student, and I am looking to purchase Berghia nudibranchs for my research project. Unfortunately I need the species Berghia verrucicornis, which is white with orange tipped cerata. I have tried looking at getting them online through aquarium supply stores, and they only sell the all-white species, Berghia stephanieae. If anyone happens to have any nudibranchs that are white with orange tips that eat aptasia please let me know, I would like to buy some.

[UPDATE]
So this is what the anemone looks like today. The tentacles got so long and stringy I had to move some of the nearby corals getting irritated. Now there are several tentacles that are "semi" bubbly, and others that look like grotesque tumors. As far as I can tell the anemone is healthy. Or maybe I'm wrong and it's not. Any input would be helpful. Thanks!

I think I know what's going on but wanted to get some additional feedback. I've had a beautiful rainbow BTA for a few months and it's doing really well. However, in the last week or so I've noticed it stretching really tall as if it's reaching for more light (see photo). It seems pretty happy with where its foot is (and so am I). I'm considering increasing my max light output a tiny bit to see what happens. My only concern is a digitata frag nearby that just recovered from bleaching because I was dumb and didn't light acclimate it when I got it. Any thoughts?

No, but I have a coral banded shrimp and a wrasse that attacks them (his name is the Exterminator.)]]> Tue, 29 Oct 2019 09:47:03 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=49381&PID=636534&title=bristleworm-fireworm-sting#636534 <![CDATA[Invertebrates : Bristleworm/fireworm sting?]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=49381&PID=636486&title=bristleworm-fireworm-sting#636486 Author: Adam Blundell

I wish I could take all the bristle worms in my tank and watch them squirm in a vat of vinegar until they're dead. I hate those things!]]> Wed, 23 Oct 2019 16:32:03 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=49381&PID=636483&title=bristleworm-fireworm-sting#636483 <![CDATA[Invertebrates : Bristleworm/fireworm sting?]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=49381&PID=636482&title=bristleworm-fireworm-sting#636482 Author: Adam Blundell

Wow 8 years later! Lol
Rtv? 

I'd say the goal is to get as many species of worms as possible.

Maybe there are some species of aquarium worms about which I don't know, but from what I know, they shouldn't be there because of the RTV. Most harmful worms get into the aquarium with the help of a carrier. Maybe you bought some live rocks or corals which were not processed properly. That's the case of the Bobbit worms, which come from the Indo-Pacific ocean. On www.arcreef.com you can find more about them and how to remove (if they are the ones from your aquarium).

I know this thread is kind of old, but Rusty's Reefs has excellent prices on hermit crabs and snails and they're local.
