Berghia stephanieae - Aiptasia-Eating Nudibranch
Berghia nudibranchs, also known as Berghia stephanieae, are small, striking sea slugs that belong to the family Aeolidiidae.
They are particularly popular among aquarists because they naturally combat the pests Aiptasia (glass anemones).
These nudibranchs are approximately 1 to 2 centimeters long and have a slender, white body with orange or yellow tips on their cerata, the finger-like appendages on their back.
Berghia nudibranchs are specialized feeders that exclusively consume Aiptasia. This ability makes them an effective solution to the problem of Aiptasia in marine aquariums, as they do not attack other corals or invertebrates.
Their reproduction occurs through egg laying, from which larvae hatch after a few days and eventually develop into adult nudibranchs.
However, keeping Berghia nudibranchs in aquariums requires careful monitoring of the Aiptasia population, as the nudibranchs would starve without their food source.
