Tell me about majono in a FOWLR...

[dstoneburg]

Well? I noticed a 1-2" colony of majono(sp?) growing undernear one of the larger peices of LR. I really don't care, I think they look pretty neat. Is there going to be any negative affects in a FOWLR?

they will mulitiply like crazy and be all over your rock work eventually, if your ok with that then I see no other problem being in a fowler tank

they are not as bad as apistia anemones and much cooler looking but as everyone stated they are a pain and depreciate your rock value if you ever go to sell. I would get ride of them if you ever plan on getting rid of the tank or upgrading into a reef type tank if you let them get out of control now you will pay later if you choose to do something else with the rock.

Does anybody know a good way to get rid of them, I've tried but it seems like they come back double everytime I try, there tough little buggers

 

[michaeltx]

I always used pickling lime and syringe and injected them it takes persistance though .

thanks I'll give that a try when I switch tanks, I only have about a million of them so it shouldn't be to bad

i believe a certain type of butterfly fish will pick at them to death.
