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.
