Berghia nudis are pretty specific eaters, after the aptasia are gone they often starve to death, also they tend to not do well in hi flow rate tanks

Did you see what they charge to ship it?? $45.00!!!

yeah, they do not have good grip for the substrate, and tend to get blown away. If you want them to propagate inside the tank, flow rates must be low for the egg strands not to get blown away and the brood blown into your filtration. Go to the breeder's regestry for much more specirfic info on the Berghia nudibranch husbandry and breeding protocols.
