A couple of months ago, I purchased 2 pair of Berghia online, to take care of an aptasia problem in my tank. Except for 1 very large one (I took the rock it was growing on out of my tank), they apparently ate all the rest, as I have seen no signs of aptasia in a month or so, nor have I ever seen the berghias again after I put them in the tank, until today, when there was what appeared to be a berghia climbing up the front glass of my tank. It has since disappeared, but I was wondering... if the berghias only eat aptasia, what happens to them when the aptasia all gone? And if the berghias die, does it cause a problem in the tank?

i believe they'll then be starved and die.

Yeah, if there's no more Aiptasia in the tank they'll die due to starvation. They won't foul up your water though. You would have to have a very small tank and a lot of dead nudibranchs for this to happen.
