Not sure which is better for eating Majanos...

My Raccoon got rid of every nuisance nem in my tank within a week or so & by the time I introduced a Copper Band I had none left.

However, a Raccoon may be a better bet as they're less delicate & easier to feed than Copper Bands once you have no nems left.

Have you thought about an Aiptasia Zapper instead?

theres just to many and alot of them are in places i cant get to with a zapper, my tank is 110 gallons with a 77 gallon sump with a very low bio load, would there be enough water volume to accomodate 1 of each?

Never had a carpet nem, but my BTA & Condy co-habit with those butterflies with no issues. But I guess I got lucky as raccoons do tend to pick at most nems.

You should be fine with those 2 in the same tank but the raccoon can sometimes be aggressive towards smaller butterflies (mine picked on my long nose quite a bit).
