Thank you for choosing RPS Our berghia are as tough as what they eat and can acclimate to your tank quickly by following the below steps:

​
Please note that Berghia can be a little sluggish when they arrive. This does not mean the Berghia are dead. (When Berghia die there is no movement even after drip acclimation or they turn into a little pile of shapeless goo.) Also, Berghia can also loose volume or size in shipping. Berghia will regain their size once the Berghia acclimate and eat some Aiptasia.

BERGHIA TANK ACCLIMATION
While your berghia are acclimating themselves turn off your pumps and power heads so there is no flow in your tank.  If you choose you to float your berghia bottle in your tank; make sure to do so with your lights off otherwise float the bottle in your sump(Berghia are nocturnal and can be susceptible to UV poisoning). After floating for 5 MINS empty out half of berghia’s bottle water into a cup  Make sure you don’t dump out the berghia
Fill the bottle back up with water from the reef tank you will be introducing them to. Then allow the bottle to float for another 5 mins. At this point aiptasia are starting to sweat. Don't worry if they all retract into hiding; Berghia’s are experts at getting them out of porous parts of rocks.

PLACING BERGHIA IN YOUR TANK
Do not just drop the berghia into tank And do not  try to handle the Berghia with you hands; Berghias are very fragile.
Use the pipette provided to suck up 1 berghia at a time then place them at least 2 inches away from aiptasia. DO NOT place your berghia on top of the aiptasia. Aiptasia have been known to eat berghia when dropped into the mouth.  Also,try holding the pipette close enough to your rock work to avoid the water column.  If in the case your berghia sticks to the side of the pipette you may have to pump the pipette harder to force them out

HOW WILL THE BERGHIA ACT AFTER BEING INTRODUCED INTO MY TANK?
Your new berghia will go into hiding and will be extremely hard to spot. Use a blue led flash light at night. To know berghia are working keep an eye on all the aiptasia you can remember, you will notice them starting to disappear. Don’t forget; Berghia are not an instant cure. Depending on the infestation, it can take months for them to work their magic.
