WHAT KIND OF ANEMONE

[maleah]

Can every one look at this and see if you know what it is and if it is bad and if so how to get rid of ?

Look up Aptasia and see if that's what they look like.

yea you have aptasia or mojano. if its a rock you can remove easily pull it out. those will multiply fast and with that many it will be hard to treat

[maleah]

Thank you very much it looks like it is the mojano and I looked that up and it said get a file fish.
or do you know any thing that will work

It looks to be only on that rock... I would take that rock out before spreading over the tank!

[Big_Pun]

the only true and tried method is to remove any infected rocks. all solutions you will read and methods are not guaranteed. if its one rock just remove it, and let it dry out.

[maleah]

No it is all over the 125 gal not just one because I liked it but then I only had about 8 or 9 now I have about 200

[betiuminside]

Then I would try first a fish... 50% chances that he will eat them. Other people buy fire shrimps but not sure if they will eat the Mojano, I know they eat aptasia. But it's a 50% chances too... This is all "natural way"
There's a lot of chemicals out there but I can't recommend any... or you can try THE LASER that someone put a threat on this forum!!! that's nice and fun!!! LOL but expensive.... but never tried it myself.
Good luck!

I doesn't appear that you have many corals in the tank, so if that is true, take the rock out and get rid of the stuff. Otherwise, it will grow so fast that it will choke out your corals. I successfully removed majanos that beautifully filled my tank (not knowing they were bad). I used a bucket to scrub the rocks down. I started by scrapping off any that I could see, then cleaning the rest of the cracks and crevices with a toothbrush. After that I rinsed in another bucket. You may have to repeat this process, so don't bother rockscaping yet. If you see any, do it again until they are gone completely. If you do have corals on the rocks, you can still do this process, it is just harder to work around them.

Once you complete the process, you might introduce a file fish in case there are more hiding that you didn't catch. Research the specific kind of file fish to get though first.

Keep in mind that there's no such thing as 'close enough'. Any piece or trace of one left behind will quickly grow back with a vengeance.
