Majano anemone? If so, pull it out and kill it. They are pests

+1 that's what it looks like to me.

Don`t try to pull. Will release more spores from what I gather and grow more.. Check the threads on how to deal with ..

 

[mikiloffbadfish]

Ya I agree was hoping not but when I noticed one had moved to the other side of the tank is think my answer was clear the good news is they seem to love my tank

Kalk paste is another option to kill majano or aiptasia. Just don't over do it. Once a day, squirt some kalk paste on it, covering its mouth and it will be gone in a day or two.

 

[mikiloffbadfish]

Think I can throw them in my sump so I can use the live rock and don't feel I lost on the deal

 

[MrsReefK]

You didn't lose on anything. Just put some Kalk paste on it and it will be taken care of. Reason for getting rid of it is that they can spread like wildfire.

If water condition is good, majano & aiptasia will be PITA to get rid off. They grow everywhere, even in area where lights is barely available. I don't give them a chance if i see one.

thanks every one found ten lucked out they were all on small rocks so just dumped them and if i see any more ill kalk those little basterds. it sucked because im so new to reefing and was excited to see new life in my tank

 

[hartin461]

Not the worst pest that can happen. I have a few that I just leave alone but will have to deal with someday when I get the ambition..lol

laser them, use the safety goggles that come with most high powered lasers. been lazing aptasia for a month works great.

 

[fishchef]

Majanos. Do all you can to get rid of them. Big problem if not addressed.

 

[pauls]

Come on !!!!!!!!! Syringe and Lemon juice. Squirt and they die. So will anything close to it if you squirt too much.

I got rid of mine with the combination of a Majano wand and a Matted File Fish

I just had some I used turkey baster and hot water than pulled the rock out and pulled them off gave a quick rinse haven't seen them since been a couple of weeks
