victoly Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 I bet Ty has some aiptasia he needs to get rid of. I think I heard they eat velvet too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juiceman Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I have a red coris wrasse in my 200, that would eat them right? Would I need to worry about the damsel or dotty back in my 60g? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victoly Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Fair enough. I'd like to get this closed up by tuesday, mid day, so that I can order tuesday night, ships wednesday, pick up thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOceanTraveler Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I am going to have to back out. I have peppermint shrimp that I added to try to battle aptasia and I just read they will eat the berghia. Have been trying to figure out if I could catch the shrimp and don't think I can right now. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoly Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Okie Doke. We're probably not gonna make the minimum, so everyone just distribute the shipping (50) per their percentage of the order. Reduce your numbers also (rob) if you'd like.

Robb in Austin Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 HELL NO! Gimme my 6. You should see the aiptasia problem I have. It's impressive in a sad way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juiceman Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 If a damsel and dotty back won't mess with them, I can get 4 for that tank. I'm not going to try it in the 200 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoly Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 " Are there any predators to Berghia nudibranchs? Please keep in mind there are times when creatures considered "reef safe" do not act as expected. But, generally speaking, the creatures below are those you should be most concerned about when adding Berghia. Any fish that aggressively hunts the live rock at night for food other than algae, including some Wrasses, Butterflyfish and some Dottybacks. It's hard to predict fish behavior. As a general rule if your fish spends a lot of time "hunting" your reef on a regular basis, especially at night, it is suspect for hunting Berghia. 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 may eat a Berghia nudibranch if it is accidentally dropped directly into the Aiptasias mouth area. So be careful when adding them to your tank." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Wouldn't that be an ironic death... eaten by the very thing that you eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juiceman Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Ok, so I guess i'm out then.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoly Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Sorry rory. That'd be a bad day to see $100 bucks get eaten, and have it not be you with a nice steak. OK, so, we're at 19 total for 4 people. If we split shipping, it's 12.5 per person plus berghia cost. I'm game to do it either way, with my preference being to do it sooner than later.

+KimP Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Splitting shipping is fine with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoly Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 Bump to the top. Maybe we can get in a few more before tomorrow. It will be the first "good" (i.e., above freezing) weather we've had in weeks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SChrisEV Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I'd be in, for 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoly Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 order is going to go in tonight to ship tomorrow. order will be shipped to my office (near aquadome). we're not gonna make free shipping so the cost will be split evenly amongst all participants.

+SChrisEV Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 How far away from free shipping are we? As in how many more are needed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoly Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 Need 300 for free shipping. We're at 18 berghia, to get to free ship we need 25. Basically all 4 participants would need to buy an extra 1-2 berghia. Each berghia costs 12.79, which is pretty similar to the cost of shipping on a per person basis. It's close....One more participant would probably do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SChrisEV Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Well My vote is to get one more berghia instead of paying for shipping. Kinda seems like a no brainier. that is unless we get another taker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SChrisEV Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I just did the math, looks like we are 7 short (medium) for free shipping. So yeah I see that you are saying. Even if each of the 4 involved bought one extra we are still short 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoly Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 well, if we each got 1, we'd still be short (18-->22) My tank is only 29 gallons, so I'd be down for one extra, but some of you big tank guys would need to get the 2 per person.

dark8nge1 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I recently sold all mine to Unilimted Color Coral in Houston after they cleaned up my tank. I am sure the will match the group buy and will be cheaper to ship since he's in Houston. Owners name is Chris and is a super nice guy. Got great stuff from him in the past. https://m.facebook.com/unlimitedcolorcorals?refsrc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Funlimitedcolorcorals Building An Obsession Acrylic fabrication BuildingAnObsession.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
