Keeping Diodogorgia:

Shade (otherwise at risk of algae), feed with fine food (Cyclop Eeze or similar). Phytoplankton could be helpful!

The most important prerequisites for successful keeping are daily feeding with suitable dust food and zooplankton. The addition of phytoplankton can certainly be helpful, but does not replace feeding with animal protein.

In addition, a sufficiently strong current must be ensured so that the food also triggers the polyps' grasping reflex. In our experience, it is advisable not to place the gorgonians in too bright a light to avoid the growth of algae or cyanos. This is because the finger gorgonian reacts to this like almost all gorgonians are particularly sensitive and no longer open the polyps.

Here are the instructions for unpacking and acclimating Berghia snails:

  • Berghia snails are specialized feeders that only eat Aiptasia sp. It is important to always have enough Aiptasia for them or to pass them on in a timely manner.
  • They are less suitable for larger aquariums with many fish, but if necessary they can be placed in the evening with the lights turned off using the transfer pipette.
  • Direct contact between snails and Aiptasia should be avoided as this can lead to the death of the snails. The snails must make contact with the Aiptasia themselves.
  • Berghia snails are ideal for controlling Aiptasia in small aquariums with peaceful fish or in separate "treatment aquariums".
  • The snails delivered are not yet fully grown and can, if necessary, be fed in a separate aquarium until they reach the desired size.
  • To open the Styrofoam box, simply pull on the blue ribbon. The insulated packaging does not need to be removed from the box. Allow the temperatures to equalize for around 10 minutes by placing the unopened transport container in the aquarium.
  • Carefully unscrew the white lid anti-clockwise. The transport container may be full of sea water and individual snails may be stuck to the lid. If this happens, place the lid in a small bowl of sea water from the aquarium.
  • Use the transfer pipette provided to remove the snails from the container and transfer them to the aquarium. Repeat the process with all snails.
  • The insulated box is recyclable and can be disposed of as recyclables or used for other purposes.
  • In case of a complaint, we ask for an email on the day of arrival with a photo of the snail in the transport cup for a replacement.
