I
have had 3 of those annoying Majano anenomes in my 93 Cube for a while now... actually, started with just 1 hitchhiker that (of course) I procrastinated in removing - until 1 became 2 and then 3 after a few months.
So, after losing half a scroll coral and an entire small Orange Digi colony that got burned by these little *&^%!##!
it was time to (finally) take some action.
How did I get rid of them? I'll tell you, it wasn't that easy.
First I tried "Aptasia X", mainly because I had some on hand. End result was no effect whatsoever; they ate the stuff like it was
candy
Next, I got a couple of hypodermic needles (Thanks Rex and Jacknugget!) in order to inject them with some deadly substance.
First, I tried peroxide. Injected 3 ml directly into the foot (base) of each anenome. Keep in mind these guys are only about as big around as a quarter... well, they swelled up a bit, and then shrunk down a bit; but, a day later, they looked no worse for the wear.
I thought that stuff 'burned' through anything?
Next, I tried vinegar. regular White Vinegar, like the kind you put on a salad.
They didn't like that. Not at all
Now we are getting somewhere.
All 3 shriveled up to almost nothing within the first 15 minutes of the vinegar shot. By the next day after the injection... dead, dead, DEAD
I was so happy that I cleaned my tank glass in celebration
Now I realize that I haven't taken any photos of my tank in several months...
Time to get busy!
