It’s good to support locals, if that’s not practical. Salty underground is basically the same price delivered. (If you buy enough) Shipping is like 45-$50. Also these are pretty popular and people have some group buys over the years to further mitigate cost.

So
Salty was $90 shipped for 3 (1/4 inch)
NC tropical is $20 per
But couldn’t give me an answer when I asked about size

Sd coral is $50 for 3 and said they were large but also didn’t know size

With berghia it’s better to buy small due to their short lifespan

I was contemplating a group purchase but since there are 2 local shops carrying them I will go that route

For aiptasia, try Peppermint shrimps. Worked great for me.

Yes…. Your wrasse probably got them, but they are nocturnal
The sure fire way to tell if they are still there is if you notice less aptasia

I purchased purchased 14 Berghia Nudibranch (various sizes) from salty underground some months ago as my tank was riddle with aptasia and I couldn't get a handle on it. The tank is 85 gallons and there is a melanarus wrasse in the tank. After I placed the berghia in my tank they pretty much stayed in the jar they were shipped in which I placed in the tank. The next day I did not see any and I haven't seen any to this day. After roughly 2-3 weeks I hadn't seen any apatsia and haven't since. Did the berghia die off, did the wrasse eat them, they are nocturnal so maybe they are hiding during the day, who knows. They do an awesome job of ridding your tank of aptasia and if I ever have an outbreak again I'll be sure to purchase then again. You need about 6-8 per 50 gallons and they should be at various stages of life and/or sizes.

About prediators to the Berghia, generally speaking, the marine livestock below are those you should be most concerned about when adding Berghia to your reef aquarium.

Any saltwater fish that aggressively hunts the live rock at night for food other than algae, including some Wrasses, Butterflyfish and some Dottybacks. As a general rule if your saltwater fish spend a lot of time "hunting" your live rock on a regular basis, especially at night, it is suspect for hunting Berghia nudibranchs also.

Shrimp that scavenge at night: Peppermint shrimp are the worst, also Coral Banded shrimp and possibly Camel shrimp (does not include Cleaner or Fire shrimp).

Aggressive crabs that scavenge for food: Sally Lightfoot crabs, Arrow crabs, Pom Pom crabs, live rock crab hitchhikers and Emerald crabs that have no algae to eat (does not include Emerald crabs with algae available to eat or any Hermit crabs).

Also, Aiptasia anemones may eat a Berghia nudibranch if it is accidentally dropped directly into the Aiptasias mouth area. So be careful when adding them to your aquarium.

[mdl92128]

The actual life span of the Berghia nudibranch is around 10 to 12 months if provided plenty on aiptasia anemones to eat. Lacking a readily available aiptasia, Berghia will starve to death within 5-7 days.
