Your "green flowers" look like Majano anemones to me.....I've seen them so thick they look like a mat of zoanthids. I'd work on a way to get rid of them if I were you.....or at least thin them dramatically.

[rockdiver]

I AGREE LOL !!!~
But how without pulling the rock
they started out as 1 little itty bitty flower
WOW does it grow LOL

 

[jgleach]

You could use Joe's Juice....or possibly try a dozen or so peppermint shrimp....or I've heard of folks having luck with Chaetodon ulietensis...a double saddled butterfly fish....or maybe a copperband butterfly....

[rockdiver]

What is Chaetodon ulietensis?

 

[jgleach]

Chaetodon ulietensis... common name: double saddled butterfly fish

 

[rockdiver]

duh lol

 

[yahutch]

do your green flowers have pink tips , if so they are tulip anemones . they can be invasive over time if not controlled . they must not have the powerful sting of others as they have never bothered anything . I have them growing right next to other corals .

 

[rockdiver]

Yes they have pink tips
even got them growing in the sand LOL
Want some???

i love tbs rock ... a friend has a tank and that stuff is just full of interesting life ... be ready for a bunch of unwanted hitchers as well, but their biodiversity is amazing.

 

[rockdiver]

Think I will get it LOL
Have a 90g going up for sale soon

I used a kalk paste to rid my majano problem. One teaspoon of Mrs. Wages, 2 teaspoons of RO water, heated in the microwave for 35 seconds, mixed it and drew it up in a syringe and started injecting in the mouths of the majanos. Had to do this several times to get them all. But it worked. Take the picture to a vet, and they will sell you a syringe with a large bore needle.

Or you can pick them off the rocks and sell them on EBAY

 

[Pufferpunk]

LOL, I just bought a huge rock, cause those anemones were on it!

 

[rockdiver]

You just got 1??
If you want more let me know i am going to be setting up my 150 in a week or 2 .
I Am going to order from Tampa Bay
Also be careful they spread all over.
Can you get mrs.Wages like at jewel or something?
rock
BTW your OK jen lol

 

[Pufferpunk]

Thanks! There are about a dozen on there. I like 'em--been wanting one (or more) for a while.

 

[hansnfrans]

rockdiver - According to another post on thread about Mrs. Wages, you are most likely to find this stuff (or another brand of CaOH) at a Hispanic Grocer.

[rockdiver]
