stylaster Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 looks like zoanthids to me. Not sure on peppermints touching majanos, most people kalk them or burn them out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badxgillen Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 those look like palythoas and i kinda dig em as they come in alot of patterns and colors.as fara s the majanos i have not had peppermints eat them and boy have i tried.sometimes you can nudge the little foot enough to come loose then take him out.they are pretty bad so i would nip it in the bud.getting rid of em when you have some in the back of your rock will be impossible.

impur Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 The browns polyps look like button polyps, palythoa sp. I wouldn't count on peppermint shrimp touching those majanos. They prefer aiptasia and are hit & miss with majanos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr S Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I would say they are also button polyps. I have in the past taken a diabetic syringe with a short needle and injected the mojano with white vinegar. I have never heard of peppermint shrimp eating them. If all else fails you are looking at the torch method. Mojano are a pain but you can get rid of them eventually. It just takes awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pex Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Definitely palys. Don't need to be fed but enjoy to be meat or mysid target fed once in a while. If they stay happy and healthy, in a year that colony will easily be over a hundred polyps. May want to read about palytoxin before you do anything with them though if you're not familiar with it. Extremely deadly if you're careless with them. Sent from the droid you're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
