Mojano vs boiling water...Lisa wins!!

[monalisa]

Hi all
Yep, I'm still here and still active in the hobby. I just spent the last 2 days eradicating a nasty little colony (or 2) of mojano anenomes. I'm here to say that the boiling water technique works GREAT!! I'm so happy to get rid of those little buggers...now, what to do about the volunteer xenias

Ha Ha,
Lisa

Ugh, don't tell me that!!

LOL I've actually been watching disintegrate...I don't how they could come back from that (????).

I've boiled many aiptasia and never had one come back. You have to be sure you get the boiling water down to the root which many times is deeper in the rock.

Thank you...I'm going to stand on your side of the room

I do plan on keeping up with monitoring and eradicating as needed. I just don't want to use things in my tank that might throw the pH off, boiling water was the answer. Wish me luck.

Have you thought about getting a peppermint shrimp? I had one that ate every mojano in a few days.
