Yes, and they are doing quite well. I have a few aiptasia farms set up and they are eating like teenagers. Should be ready for sale in a month or so.

Default Yes these things take quite awhile

It's been 5 months now. I have about 40 total in my tank and refugium but not sure if they survived or not. you will never see them. It takes 1 month just to see the little babies and then another to grow them up to adult. I had millions of aiptasia but now I'm like down to 10 or so that I can see. not sure if the Copperband ate them all or if the berghias finally caught up to them.

I really don't want to get rid of them but I need a few weeks for aiptasia culturing. LOL

I recommend to get minimum 2 or more cause they need a partner to breed.
You should put them in a seperate container and breed them first before you put them in your tank or else they will never see each other to breed. Which would make them useless.
I also warn you in advance that this is NOT a fast way to get rid of Aiptasia. You have to wait till you have tons of Berghias before they will rid your tank of Aiptasia's. Like I said its been 5 to 6 months now.


Other than that it's fairly easy to keep them just be patient. Make sure you have tons of Aiptasia's and I mean tons.

Let me know by tonight. Leaving first thing Saturday morning. Give me your phone number so I can call you to meet up.
