Mojano and Devil's Hand share....

[kwaters]

the same rock. It also has an intricate web like structure on the bottom of the rock...sponge I suppose. Anyway, want to save the coral and rid my self of the mojano.

There are several of these small pest anemones and I would like to separate the coral from the rock. I have though about chiseling down the rock but wonder if there is a way to remove it (the coral) and relocate it with out going through that hassel. Have also posted in reef keeper forum.

Thanks,

Kris

I think there are Nudibranch that eat only Mojano. I know for sure there are ones that eat Aptasia.

Use Joe's juice to kill the trouble anemone.

I have battled those pesky anemones for years. I have injected them with Joes juice, lemon juice, and concentrated kalwasser. With a syringe, inject the solution into their stem. They will shrivel away without hurting anything around them. You have to keep at them because they are hardy and multiply rapidly. They are also agressive and will squeeze out other corals that they touch.

Like lmuller I've been fighting them for a long time too. Few things work consistently, but I have had success with a 20% sodium hydroxide solution (Kids, don't try this at home!). Unfortunately you have to be very careful with it, as it will raise your pH in a heartbeat if you get overzealous with the syringe. I've only resorted to it recently, and only because nothing else works for me 100%.

Thanks for you input. I got a thick paste of Kalk on them last week and got about 10 of them. Will keep working on the little buggers!
