Berghia are really designed for a tank that has an aptasia infestation or they will starve to death. You should be placing them in your tank at night as well so they do not get eaten by any predators. Also if you were to put one to close to an aptasia , the aptasia can actually eat the Berghia. If you have only one or two aptasia , I can almost guarantee there are more that you can't see.

Just my 2cents. Regardless of whether you buy from me or not, just make sure you introduce the bergia into the tank properly. If you have any wrasse or other predators of berghia, make sure you dont just drop them into your tank as they will get damaged if not eaten. Also, they will not start to eat the minute you place them in your tank. They will immediately look for shelter the minute you put them in so dont just drop them next to an aiptasia as aiptasia will gladly feast on a disoriented berg. Instead put them into a small gap or some form of crevace as to prevent predation. If you have a small tupperware container, poke some holes in it and use a clip to mount it onto the edge of your aquarium. Throw some frag plugs or a small pvc pipe in there and let them adjust. And then you can just put a few aiptasia in there to let them feed. Once you see eggs, drop the bergs into the tank with shelter and let them do their job. Atleast you will have a strand of eggs incase your bergs dont make it.
