I may be spinning my wheels here, but Ive done tons of research and Im only coming up with 1 safe majano anemone remover. Spurilla Neapolitana (a nudibranch) which unfortunately is rarely sold. I have read of a few fish (Angels and Butterflyfish) but they are not reef safe and Im struggling to put one in my tank because of the amoutn of LPS and SPS I have.
Bottom line; I have a small outbreak of Majano that increased in size due to a higher than usual nutrient level in my tank over a 2 week period (long story.) Removing the rocks into another tank is out of the question and would be a last resort I suppose. I also will not use Lemon juice, Joe's juice or Kalk paste as a means of removal. Short of trying to get the correct Nudi which may take a long time, has anyone EVER had luck with Raccon butterflyfish or Emperator Angel (or other suitable Majano removers like these) as juveniles and succeedded in having them in a reef tank without decimating your reef?
If no reef safe critters are available, I may just try my luck with a juvenile butterflyfish and see what happens. Any info you good folks can spare my way here would be appreciated. Thanks!
