What are these called

[bdls]

Can anyone tell me what these are called. Sorry about the crummy picture, but all I have is a digital camera that use's a FLOPPY Disk. I know what's a floppy disk. Thanks Bobby D.

possibly Mojano,, most likely Aptasia

Thanks for the fast replyTexreefer. Are they good to have or not? Cause their growing in my tank like crazy. Theres approx. 28 of them on that rock. Can I frag them? If so, do I just cut them of the rock.

[JimD]

Those are almost positively Mojano's, some people like them, some hate them. They can become a niusence if uncontrolled. Id recommend monitoring them and removing them if they become a problem.

Thanks Jim
How do I control them? Just cut them off the rock their on, or is there another way.

[marcus_the_clownfish]

aptasia control. it works great. they sell it at the lfs for about 7 bucks

[marcus_the_clownfish]

aptasia control from blue life its like 7 bucks

[JimD]

If you can get the rock out, just inject them with liquid calcium, if not you can do it in the tank, dont cut them off, theyll just grow back.

Joes Juice can also help get rid of them!!

Thanks for the replies.

There seems to be a lot of people here in Killeen that like it........:hypnotyized:

Get a handle on it now. Some of the majanos are really cool looking and if it were a fowlr tank I'd say don't worry. In a reef they will spread fast, not like aiptasia but they are much harder to get rid of in my experience.

Be careful using a calcium or kalk mixture because, depending on tank size, it could mess with your parameters. The Blue Life Aiptasia Control is really awesome stuff and you can use a fair amount of it even in smaller tanks.

[JimD]

I wouldnt wase money on 'over the counter' Aiptasia products when you probably already have something that will work just as well on hand. Ive found that liquid calcium works as good or better than anything else and the excess will most likely be absorbed by the system, just dont over do it.

I pulled the rocks out and used viniger on them, worked great. Now I need to fill the bear spot in my tank. They were growing like weeds. Again thanks for all the replies.
