Help wanted with Majano Anemone (1 Viewer)

[Salty Sonny]

About a year ago I purchase a nice 8lb piece of Pukani live rock from a LFS that had some unseen unwanted hitchhickers.

Here I am a year later and now I have about 15 small to medium sized Majanos . A few of them started to move and become pest to near by corals so now I'm pissed!

I've tried to remove the rock and scape them off ,it's worked but I don't want to have to remove all my rocks and screw up my aquascape/ disturb the tank .
I tried the boiling water and injecting them with my insulin needles, hasn't worked either.

Now I'm thinking of buying a few peppermint shrimp and removing one piece of live rock from the display and setting up a 20 gallon long so the peppermint shrimp (Florida) will be trained to eat the Majano.


I wanted to get y'alls input to see if this is a good ideal.
I would like to try a PaKastani Butterfly but my display tank is only 48 gallons ;(

I haven't seen anything eat Majanos before.
You could try to melt them with electricity using a zapper.
Something like this: Amazon.com : Majano Wand - Mojano Zapper : Aquarium Treatments : Pet Supplies

thanks for the info after speaking to a fellow reefer at a LFS she told me it's a pain in the ARSE to use them cost her about $100 bucks and you have to be sneaky because the Majano has to be full open for it to work.

I'm all for trying one out if a local member has one that wouldn't mind lending me ,i'd rent it.

Best thing I have tried is Kalk mixed with tank water. Put in syringe & put all over the pest. Turn off power heads.

The majano wand works for majanos pretty good. Aptasia on the other hand are too fast.

I have a wand you can borrow. I've also use an aiptasia eating filefish too. has cleared out many tanks for me.

Your tank is too small but I added a Emperor angel to my 120 and he eradicated them.

Hey Nick, do you rent your wand out? My wife's tank has a majano issue too and we'd like to try this wand out.
