Nice!
Catherine, what is the name of those anenomes in the eighth pic down, beneath the orange cap? I think I have some of those as well.
Thanks

Them's majano's. Lovely aint they? They're worse IMO then aiptasia.

I tried a raccoon butterfly against them and he did a bang up job removing the ones he could get at. Unfortunately he also went after a brain coral and I lost 4 clams under mysterious circumstances during his tenure (but to be fair, I'm not 100% convinced he was responsible, he might not have been).

So anyhow though, if your clam load is minimal and you don't have LPS, you could try one of them..

Majanos!!
Darn... I guess I have a had an inkling that is what I had. They sure look the same.
My biggest one is roughly 2 inches with the tentecles spread. They have split twice, so I have 4 now. Thats in 2 and a half years.
Mine don't spread very quick, so still controllable.
Sorry Catherine for hyjacking, your corals are awesome. Someday I will have some tool.

I have a less polite name for them....

I have tried injecting them with lemon juice, air, and kalk paste with no luck. My next step is going to be covering them over either with epoxy or with super glue. They are a HUGE pain and they spread quickly and easily.

I want a raccoon butter fly, or two!

Well, mine look just like that, but do not spread. Hopefully, then, mine are not majanos.

Give them time .. they will.

I had the same sort of "live and let live" philosophy with mine. In hindsight this was a tactical error. All of a sudden one day I just noticed they are everywhere and on every rock, even in the scutes of some of my clams.

I would keep an eye on them for sure.

The raccoon is the only thing that took a liking to them. I had a CBB before and he wouldn't touch the majano's.

You should give Taylored Aquatics Aiptasia Detroyer a try.. I had a couple Mojanos in my old 20G nano, and it nuked them instantly.

Lovely looking corals Catherine!
