Concerning message #6364:

Bill,
I don't recall if I ever sent the pictures of the "real" Berghia verrucicornis (the one that was called that in the USA but is now Aeolidiella stephanieae ) a few years ago, but just in case I didn't, I'm sending them in a separate message [#19968]. Here are some pictures of its food, the anemone Aiptasia pallida (from the Florida Keys).

Enjoy,
Steve

Dear Steve,
Thanks for these extra photos. Its ironic that something so beautiful can cause such havoc in aquaria.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
