These guys are showing up in my 110 mixed reef - about a year old. I'm about to move up to a larger tank and I'm not sure if I want to take them along. They appear to be some sort of anenome, but I dont think they are Aptasia.



Any help?

(they appear to be two differnt species)

Thanks!

Michael

Majanos. Another species of pest anemone. You'll want to inject them with kalk slurry or one of the commercially available aiptasia removal products.

Yep, and that first pic shows a lot of them.

Is there a good way to "treat" the live rock between the move?

I would not move those rocks across/I had 6 majanos and it took a few weeks of zapping them with kalk, like full on frosting the rock to get them to die. Resilient, much more so than aptaisia.
