Can someone help me identify this please?

I'm no sure what this is, he kind of poped up a few days ago, he/she is sitting right up on top of the rock kind of hard to see, unfortinatly my camera is not that good. i will try to get a beter pic as well.

I can't tell, but google aiptasia and majano. Is it one of those?

 

[Daghda124]

i know it's not aiptasia cause my shrimp would of ate it, after watching it for a bit it does seem to be some thoe of anemone just not sure

 

[Daghda124]

ok it apears to be a mojano, is it a pest and if so any methods to control or ridmof it

 

[Bifferwine]

It is a pest. Using Aiptasia X to get rid of it will be your best option.

 

[Daghda124]

ok thanks a bunch makes me glad i caught it at one of them not a bunch of them lol

 

[Bifferwine]

That's for sure. Once they get out of control they can be very difficult to get rid of. I had a terrible majano infestation in my 240 gallon tank and ended up boiling all my rocks to get rid of them. It was literally like a carpet of majano.

 

[Daghda124]

that's crazy.

Just for future reference too, not all shrimp eat Aiptasia, even Peps are picky.
Its hit and miss.

 

[Daghda124]

i know that one i got lucky. thanks for the input though.

 

[Daghda124]

i do have one question is aiptasia x safe to use with other anemones i do have a BTA

Turn off the flow in the tank. You apply the stuff with a needless syringe. Cover the pest with it and watch it melt. Then turn everything back on. As long as you dont directly put it on the BTA you will be fine.
