Desperate search for Berghia

January 21, 2002
From: Thierry Reynier

Hi,
I am living in Sweden and can't find any Berghia to buy in my country. Since I'll make a trip to Tampa (Florida) in February, I wonder if you know if it's possible to buy some Berghia in the Tampa area.
Thanks for any help.
Thierry

Dear Thierry,
I guess you want Berghia verrucicornis because you have an infestation of Aiptasia in your aquarium. Why don't you have a look at your local fauna for an alternative? Aeolidia papillosa, Aeolidiella glauca and Aeolidiella sanguinea all probably occur in Sweden and all eat sea anemones, A. sanguinea in fact being reported to eat a species of Aiptasia. It may be a bit cold at present but it would be much more sensible than trying to import an animal from the Caribbean.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
