Berghia Egg Coil

All our Berghia Egg Coils are bred and shipped directly from our facility in Germany. The clutches are collected on the day of shipment and exhibit excellent viability. They come from a selective breeding line, which produces Berghia that will grow up to 2.5 cm in size within approximately two months if kept with optimal temperature and sufficient food.

Berghia are 100% reef-safe and feed exclusively on aiptasia, a common pest anemone in saltwater aquariums. We breed our Berghia in state-of-the-art, coral-free and aiptasia-free systems without fish or other invertebrates. This minimizes the risk of introducing unwanted algae, pathogens, or parasites into your aquarium.

You can expect the clutches to hatch approximately 10-14 days after delivery at a water temperature of 25°C.

Your Berghia clutches will be delivered with full acclimatization instructions and a transfer pipette.

Important instructions

Avoid predatory fish and shrimp! Most wrasse and shrimp species eat Berghia eggs. The eggs must be protected before hatching.

We recommend hatching the clutches in a separate aquarium or in the sump for best results.
