But not expecting so.

Late last night I was feeding Dendros and Acans and found this thing on the glass of my frag tank.

Forgot to mention the size of this thing for comparison.

It measured 1/2" from front to back, it used a premade dip of Levamisol to see if it would kill it and it did in under 5 minutes

I found it on the glass not on any specific piece of coral. The frag tank is full of pieces of Acro, Cap, Plate, ZOA's .
That would have made things alot easier if I found it on a piece of cap or plate that happened to have a big white spot on it :)

Maybe it eats Aptasia or flatworms LOL Not likely !

Looks like I just lost $20.00

I added 3 tiny Bergia over a year ago and have never seen them since. I do have a couple Aptasia but nothing like it was when I added these guys. Totally forgot I added them at all. The large one I pulled out was more brown/gold than the white pictured here but I think you are right on the ID

As always RC and its members helps a guy out :)

Thanks

Check your zoas and monti's, that doesn't look like a berghia IMO. I've never seen them with a yellowish/orange tint only the monti eating ones. If it was 1/2"' its way too big to be a monti eating nudi though, they are normally 1/8". Berghia are normally white or purple (aiptasia colored) when feeding.
