I tried the berghias in my 180. I probably didn't get enough, because they were pricey and I am cheap. They did not succeed. I had another aiptasia infestation in a 26 gallon tank. I put one peppermint shrimp in there. After a month or so, I noticed the aiptasias were disappearing. Hard to believe one shrimp could eat all of them, but he did. Im restarting the 180 and I'll be keeping a peppermint shrimp in it.
One good difference between the shrimp and the berghias is that they can eat lots of other stuff once the aiptasias are gone. Not so with the berghias.
