I've seen this happen a lot with cichlids and catfish over the years, too, so what chance does a poor sea slug have? :) Please do drop by again! @Lisa – thanks for the extra info, and I’m sure your right.

It was reclassified several years ago as Aeolidiella stephanieae. In the US and other countries we have continued to call this slug "berghia" because that is the name people in the hobby have been calling it for many years. It a little like trying to stop calling a tissue "Kleenex" when you have used the name "Kleenex" to describe a tissue for 30 years. People in the hobby know what a Berghia is when that name is used.
