racefan Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Is this Manjano? It's at the rear of my Green Star Polyps. One picture with lights on & GSP opened up & one with lights off & GSP closed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Kind of looks like it however I've been off more often than not recently when trying to ID stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Looks like it to me too. It would be better to get it out of your tank now, even if it damages your GSP a little. GSP will grow back. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racefan Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 What's the best way to remove it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I prefer to use Kalk paste. Use pickeling lime, or Kalkwasser powder. Mix with a few drops of water to make a thick paste, about like toothpaste. Then put a big blob over the pest anemone. Let it sit covered by the white blob for a few days, then repeat. Some like other techniques, like Joe's Juice, aptasiaX, or just taking out the rock and using a flame (lighter, blowtorch, etc.) to cook the little bugger. Once they get established, it will take a nuclear bomb to get rid of them. They are worse than roaches. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylaster Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 if you can remove the rock you can superglue it to its death or get out a torch and roast it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markdadof2 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Aiptasia X has worked for me quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA2OR Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I use Aptasia control and watch them melt away in seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finch6013 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 +1 on aptasia control. I recently used that stuff and had a whole tank cleared of all the aptasia I could find in an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJenchild Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 The only method I have found that reliably took care of all the majano problem in my last tank was......to completely remove all rocks that had them and dry the buggers out. The rocks are still sitting in a bucket. I will eventually add them to a system to "re-seed" them before adding back into my tank. I tried joe's juice, aptasia X, blow torch, lemon juice injected in, and kalk. Nothing worked for me....and in fact made the problem worse since they spread when stressed. Good luck though! If you try these methods, be sure to let us know what works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I have a couple I could zap. I will post a video on youtube and post link here to you can see what I do and how it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
