Do lettuce nuddi's eat aptasias?

happyface888 · 08/22/2008, 04:42 PM

A long time ago I read somewhere that these things would eat aptasias but I wanted to make sure before I go get some.
Has anyone had them eat any?

acrodave · 08/22/2008, 04:45 PM

Oh crap lol I must of mistaken lettuces for those,
Are those reef safe?

And how well do they work?

They work amazingly well. Unfortunately they are expensive and once all the aptasia are gone they will die because that is all they eat. 2 berghia cleared my friends 39 gal cube in about 3 months. We got extremely small juveniles so we grew them for awhile in a hang on fug and feed them aptaisia. Hands down the best solution imho.

How much do they go for?

paulallen · 08/22/2008, 05:35 PM

$19.99 for a juvenile. But worth it, imho.

The price isn't bad but Its the shipping cost that kills lol. So I hope it aint 30dollars like fish.

Their shipping costs aren't bad and you could fine a lot of the stuff you are looking for. Like snails and such from your other post. If you have any friends in the hobby you can make an order together. That is what my friends and I do when we need to restock our cuc.
