Anemone ID and how do i get rid of them?
I have some annoying pest anemones in my reef, but I have no idea what they are and how to get rid of them.
They are not aiptaisia and they won't do from aptaisia-ex and my copperband doesn't eat them... Does anybody know what they are? |

Looks to me like majano anemones. I've never dealt with them personally so not really sure how to get rid of them. Hopefully someone with experience will chime in.

I don't think they are Majanos, as Majanos have smooth tentacles, unlike the pictures in the OP. http://animal-world.com/Aquarium-Cor...anjano-Anemone
Years ago, I had a Majano infestation and a Racoon Butterfly made short work of them. Of course, there is a risk of the Racoon nipping at corals and other anemones.

I see what your saying. Not majano. I looked around on the internet and the closest thing to that I can find is Thalassianthus aster. I still could be wrong though.

You could try a majano wand to see if it works. Or maybe the raccoon butterfly...

Since there hasn't been a positive ID (and I'm curious what these are) I posted a link to this thread in the Anemones & Clownfish forum.
