Ok, I have got what amounts to a fairly serious mojano infestation. I can't pull all the rocks as they are keyed together and corals are growing across multiple rocks and all sorts of nonsense. I also have more than would be feasible for killing off with kalk juice and the likes.

From what I understand the racoon butterfly and the bicolor angel will both eat mojano's rather well. However, I already have a potters and don't want a fight to break out between the angels.

I would really only keep the butterfly till my mojanos had been mowed down, and then would pass him/her along to another reefer with the problem.

My real question, how concerned should I be for my RBTA?

I have had good luck with racoon's eating mojanos unfortunately he also went for the anemone, the one I had best luck was a true double saddle back butterfly, this one was great eating mojanos and never touched anything else, I passed him along to another reefer in our club who still have him in his system for over two years.

not the prettiest option but a scat will wipe them out in no time and then yo could trade him back into the lfs? just a idea...

raccoon
auriga
saddleback
falcula

i think these 4 are about as good an anemone eater as you can get!

I have used both raccoon and auriga.
The auriga did much better. But they also love other coral, like zoo's
