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

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

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

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...

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.

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.

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.
