Many people like majanos. The larger, more colorful ones are sometimes even sold as "rock anemones" and while they do have a strong sting, they are not as bad as aiptasia from the research that I have done. The key to keeping them under control and not spreading all over your tank seems to be water quality. They like a tank that has high nutrients and a lot of particulate food (same as aiptasia).

More pics from today I'm getting better all the time.











Yes he poses and dances for me everytime I look his way.

What the hex is this ugly (beautiful) coontraption?

Oh and Gary that white piece is the cauliflower coral in question. Speaking of which, Hey you get off my hammer!

Yea, that looks like the carnation to me. If those are the mojanos you are talking about they are cool. Keep 'em. Those are similar to what most people call a rock anemone. Not the smaller pest type.

Nah those aren't the Majano's. The majanos are majanos. I set up a tank for a friend a few months ago and got him some frogspawn and about 20 rics as a gift. His tank is a polar opposite of my sterile tank (******* it's doing better than mine with zero maintenance), no filtration, all my leftover liverock (about 60lbs in a 40g) and he feeds super heavy. His coraline algae has completely sealed off all of his live rocks pores. Looks like dripping wax, awesome. A single head of frogspawn swells to the size of a softball everyday. He has a hair algae problem but we both agree it makes the tank look natural. His rics split all the time, inlcuding the 4 color oranges. Mine melt under the lights.

So anyways we go and check out a home coral seller and he had that thing. Didn't know what it was. Since I kept staring at it my bud bought it for me for setting up his tank. So yeah now this uhm,, gifty thing is in my tank. That was how it looked at the sellers and it still looks the same. Appears to have a mouth at the end of the stalks.
