Anybody else have any experiences getting rid of this pest?
Did the bi-color work for anybody else?

take rock out and torch the anemoneHi, a very old thread however I have a "majano anemone" and need to get rid of it before it spreads.
My tank is only 3 weeks into first cycle so considering removing the affected rock, put it in salt water and treat it. Been to 2 LFS and both have recommended Red Sea Aiptasia x.
One also had a a chocolate chip starfish which has been mentioned above so a consideration although they eat coral so would need to think carefully before I buy and not sure if it would be the answer?
Can anyone help?
take rock out and torch the anemone
Hi there.....
My tank is being plagued by majano anemones. They are every where, even places where i cant reach. I know that i could take up all my live rock and try to remove them manualy - but this would just be such a major job for me.....
Many of them are in such little holes in the rocks that i couldnt be sure of which or which not i have removed them entirely if i hat done it by hand....
So PLEASEEEE tell me that there are some sort of creature out there that will eat this pest anemone !!! I have been told that a Copperband Butterfly maybe could do the job for me but is this true.........
Thanks in advance -

X2I have majanos and my matted filefish eats them. I QTed the filefish for a couple of weeks and added liverock with majanos on them, and they all slowly disappeared. However, now that the filefish is in my DT, the problem is that it prefers the food that I feed my tank. I am worried that the majanos will grow faster than the filefish will/can eat them. Only time will tell if it can actually take care of all of the majanos.
I am surprised no one mentioned FileFish yet! I just added a matted filefish for Aiptasia and Mojano (I only have 2 small ones). He hasn't touched it so far, it's day 3 now. Will report back if he eats them but other people have had success with it.

Everything living on and in liverock is killed when you boil it.
Kleins butterfly. My tank was infested, overgrown with them. I purchased one, and after almost a week, they were all gone. Now, it eats anything I feed the other fish. Never touches my LPS's. I have a rock with some in my other tank. I am going to put it in the tank with the Kleins and see if it will take care of business again.
A Kleini Butterfly wiped mine out.
