 Can anyone identify what the green tentacle looking things are? Look like miniature anemones just curious to see what they could be. Thanks! ------------- -Zach- |

Great thanks I looked them up and you guys were right on. Any suggestions on removal? Or how to rid them of my tank. There are only 6-8 that I can see I've looked all over and there all just in that one cluster ------------- -Zach- |

I've got joes juice that I use for aiptasia. Would that work on these also? ------------- -Zach- |

I read also you can just grab them and pull them out. Anyone disagree or agree with that? Some are in the sandbed and a couple are hooked in the rocks. But easily accessible ------------- -Zach- |

Don't think Joe's Juice will work unless you inject it into each majano. Same with Kalk or vinegar; you need to inject it. You can remove the rock they are on and let it dry out for a few weeks, that will work as wel... ------------- - My Current Tank: 65g Starfire (sitting empty for 2+ years) - * Marine & Reef tanks since 1977 * |

what I did for a friends tank was boil some salt water and shot it at the the baddy with a turkey baster and it made it fizzle up and die in about 5 minutes. wallet friendly and very effective. ------------- Change is the law of life.

I had about a billion of those in my tank. I bought a Kliens Butterfly fish. Now I barley can find one. That said there are some risks to taking in a Kliens so do your research but it did fixed my majano infestation. ------------- 225 Reef (not really mine but i act like it is) 29 Biocube http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=45353" rel="nofollow - My Whole House System Build |

Success!! I went with the joes juice because I had it. It seems as if I've won this battle but I'm sure it won't be the last. Thanks for all the tips and help. Ill definitely keep a lot of these ideas for the future. ------------- -Zach- |
