Berghia verrucicornis - where do I get it?
October 18, 2002
From: Patrizia Bacci
I am looking for either peppermint shrimps or some Berghia verrucicornis, having a big problem with Aiptasia in my 240 litre saltwater tank, but as i live in Florence Italy, I am finding it impossible to purchase them in this country and also no luck in getting them imported. Can anyone help me with some info on where and how to acquire them?
thanks

Bacci, P., 2002 (Oct 18) Berghia verrucicornis - where do I get it?. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/8169Dear Patricia,
The Forum is not really a marketplace for aquarium keepers although I am happy to help if I can. If you look at the page on the slug which eats Aiptasia, you will see I have strong doubts about whether it is really Berghia verrucicornis. True Berghia verrucicornis is in fact Italian, first found in Naples. So if you were to go out to the coast from Florence, there is a fair chance you might be able to find Berghia verrucicornis. What we don't know is if the 'real' B. verrucicornis will eat Aiptasia. If you read through my comments, and the other messages on these pages you will get an idea about our current thoughts on using nudibranchs to control Aiptasia.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
