Mojanos

[coralreefexplore]

I have some. Well more than some. I need to know what is the best thing for me to do, to get rid of them? I mostly have it on LR but did notice some growing in between zoa colony and on my frogspawn where I had a dead branch. Please help.

Joe's juice, lemon juice, nuking the rock seem to be most common. Outside possibility of Peppermint shrimp or filefish as well.

Redsea aptaisa x to start and berghia nudibranches for the long term

That's aiptasia, not majanos. Nudis may work if you don't have any fish or inverts that'll eat them. Injecting them with lemon juice works well, but you need something that'll eat the babies. Just don't overdo it with the lemon juice since it can affect ph.

Oh yeah, what finally worked for me was peppermint shrimp caught at Port A. I tried just about everything else and that was my last ditch effort. I added about 50 to my 185g. They wouldn't touch the huge ones, but they ate the babies. Between them and lemon juice, I beat aiptasia.

Here's a better pic of what I have.

I had an aptasia in the middle of a zoa colony. Dropped a peppermint in and the aptasia disappeared in 24 hrs.

that pic is aiptasia

[alton]

Majanos don't split as fast or take over as fast as aptaisia. Your picture is not clear? Either way you need to do something fast, start zapping them and removing them. If they are Majanos you can zap and remove very similar to an anenemoe. If they are aptasia and your try to remove after zapping they may just spread.

[ramsey]

It looks like aiptasia to me. Majanos have more of a "bubble" tip on it's tentacles from what I've seen. Like this:

Peppermint shrimp eat them or try aptaisia x

Peppermint shrimp eat them or try aptaisia x

+1 I'd do both or try the nudi's. if you make a trip down to port a, you can get all the peppermint shrimp you'd need off the jetty. MAAST is doing a collection trip down there next month.

Oh yeah, if you're thinking about using nudis, do it before you try peppermint shrimp. My nudis didn't last long when I tried them and I only had a couple of peps in the tank before my collection trip. It may have just been coincidence, but I've read reports of other people having trouble with the peps eating nudis. Peppermint have also eaten people's coral. I didn't have this problem, but others have.
