I have a 30 gallon FO/Algae tank that I wouldn't mind giving over to so called "pest" anemones. In my view&nbsp;their all just Low-maintenance and I'm not going to add any other coral. If you do keep the things I'd love to trade you some frags, sand, algae, rock, or whateveryouwant, for a few small specimens. <span style="font-size:10px"><br /><br />Edited by chrisslc</span>]]>

The only way to get rid of them is to Kalk them. I got rid of all but one or two of them about 8 months ago, and because I missed a couple, I now have close to 25 around my tank. They don't seem too harmless yet though. If it looks like they're taking over coral territory, I'll get rid of them again, or at least attempt to.]]>

The majano sounds to be worse than an aptacia since it has the same destructive capabilities and tendencies and it has fewer natural predators. To quote the links that you gave:</P><P>WetWebMedia, "These pest are about the size and tenacity of Aiptasia, but are in some regards easier and in some regards more difficult to control.&nbsp;&nbsp;The usual aiptasia predators will show not interest in A. Majano.&nbsp;&nbsp;The only reliable predators are large angels (Blueface, Majestic, and Emperors) and a few decidedly non-reef-safe butterflies.<BR>The upside is that they are much more leathery than Aiptasia and if you can get to the base, they can be cleanly plucked from the rock."</P><P>Reefs.org, "You probably didnt get as lucky as you think, cause it probably is <A href="http://www.reefs.org/hhfaq/pages/picture_pages/faq_anem&#111;nia.html" target="_blank"><I><FONT color=#0000ff>Anemonia majano</FONT></I></A> , a small anemone which most people consider to be a pest. In most cases, this anemone can reproduce quickly and spread thoughout the tank, and like <I>Aiptasia</I>, can sting its neighbors quite badly. It's unlikely that you will find a biological control such as peppermint shrimp for these, however you probably will have better luck using an injection of limewater if you find that they must be controlled in your tank.
