I found one on a candycane frag. Do they multiply or what? You all say they are pests. I went into search and found nothing to help. Please explain. Sorry I don't want to hijack your thread. Thanksv

They multiply like mad and sting what they touch. I mean, look at heart and soles first post. He said he only had two. By the time he got his camera out, another one popped up!
OK, I'm getting tired now, stupid attempt at a joke. I'm not as funny as rebelprettyboy

Thanks, I will pull the frag and try to get it off with tweezers.


Joes juice. Tweezers will leave some of the foot and it will just come back.

Joes juice works great on them.
But very important to make the little scream noises while doing it.
OOOoooHHH!!! NOOO!!!

The one at the very top is something different i think or at least it looks different then the other 2. Sucks that they are majana i really wanted to frag it off and keep it but now i have to break out the death juice. Thanks for all the help..

love the baby stars in there!!!
manjanoe anemones arent like apistsia anemones they dont grow as fast or spread as fast as the others but are still pests. there are some that are simliar to them but dont mutiply as fast I have had acouple of these for alomost 1 year and they never spread. other dotn bother with the manjanoe anemones unless they pop up close to a coral. The problem with like the BTA they can and will move to other places in the tank.
I use a pickling lime mixture and a syrenge and it kills them pretty good. it does take some time to get them all because they will move leaving pieces behind as a survival instinct.

Well I executed the little bugger. Gave him a lethal injection and he is gone. That Joe's juice works great. Thanks for the info.

good thing you noticed him...its def. better to get them under control when there are only a handful...they are def. a nuisance and can def. multiply like crazy, stinging all corals in their path....
