what are you folks talking about? those are clearly aiptasia palys. Those are super rare and very sought after. haha jk. get some berghias to take care of that

 

[stevie-o]

aiptasia-x should do it. hey how well does injecting them with hot water and lemon juice work?

 

[sask]

I believe they are majano, not aptasia. Aps have longer thinner tentacles. MJ's are stockier, thicker and have shorter tents. I am also looking for something to kill mj's. Boiling water with either ph or kh solution mixed strong does work to some extent. However you do need to pull the injected ones off with some sort of fine tweezer after they shrink up.

 

[stevie-o]

wow, and i thought aptasia was bad i feel so bad for anyone who has to deal with those things

Actually, aiptasia have pointier tentacles, regardless of whether they look fat or not (they can contort into various positions, looking different at times). Majanos have more rounded tips on the tentacles.

If you pull either of them off the rock, they leave tissue behind and just regenerate.
