I have heard others with a simulair experiance to mine Mine probally ended up in a power head. I even used course foam pad to prevent them from getting down my overflo. 20 dollars for a small bug is a rip off. Just one 5 dollar pepperment shrimp would put a whole group of these things to shame. I put no faith in this creature nothing but disappointments. Sorry for being a Debbie downer but its a forum.

Thats unfortunate to hear. Could you let me know more about your system? For instance, what kind of livestock, how big the tank was..how did you introduce the berghia? Also how much liverock do you have?
The Berghia's are very delicate creatures so you really have to make sure you introduce them right and really have to let them settle in so they can get comfortable and hide in your live rock. Also, how big were your berghia's?
As for your claims of the berghia not being effective...I really beg to differ. Im making a video right now to show how fast they consume aiptasia. Naturally if you have 2 in a 200 gallon then its going to take a long time for them to populate. These guys work best in numbers, where they can spawn and its their babies that wipe out the aiptasia. Not the initial ones, although they are very effective as well.
