Love this your best video yet to date! I have a lot a lot of aptasia but my first batch of nudis did not make it so my second batch arrives soon great video👍🏼
Is it me, or is aiptasia also evolving to be resistant to F aiptasia? My friend used to remove aiptasia with it and it kept coming back so he used nudibranchs.
The real solution is to not put Aiptasia in your tank. 8 years now and I’ve not had a single one make it into my system. Removing frag plugs and Quarantine FTW
Rigorous quarantine is the best way to go, but obviously not everyone has the space and that option. I do agree with you though on QT being essential to help mitigate the possibility of pests entering your system! -Blaine
@@TopShelfAquatics if space is an issue, a good dip, remove frag plug and keep them on a frag tray in the display. Don’t put them near sand or rocks until you are certain they are clean. I’ve seen Aiptasia appear on frags nearly a month into QTN, so I typically give it 6 weeks as a minimum. The way I see it, you only need 1 for it to get out of control and I’ve seen people quit the hobby because they couldn’t control them and they started killing coral which in turn caused their tanks to crash. 6 weeks is a short price to pay to avoid a lifetime of frustration.
Good video, but also you should mention (unless I missed it), do not add Berghia if you have peppermint shrimp or other way around. Peppermint shrimp most likely will eat your Berghia. That is what happened to me.
You could always do your best to collect as much of the colony that develops and trade it back in to the LFS or find another local reefer battling this same issue! They have fairly short lifespans regardless though. -Blaine
Hands down the best nudibranch video ever made for hobbyists! Well done!
Thanks so much! We take pride in the content we put out, and we are glad y'all are enjoying it!

Taras will always be remembered by hobbyists for making this video.
One of my favorite he has done on the channel thus far! Thanks for the kind words!
-Blaine
Grape van or not, this is by far the best Nudi video I've seen to date. Well done.
Much appreciated! Glad everyone is really enjoying this one, I know I really thought it was a homerun!

I love all of these. Super informative, and very well spoken. Thank you for Taras Talks.
Glad people are enjoying them! He’s got too much knowledge not to bring it to the channel for you all to learn and enjoy!
-Blaine

Everytime I get the nudibranches they just disappear

What do they eat after getting rid of the aptasia? I would hate to use them then have them starve to death.

Wrasses may take them up as a snack this is correct! Good point to be added!
