Feeding Pests

[davidcalgary29]

I bought a used RSM C-250 last week for a great price, especially because it came with a load of live rock. Which was peppered with majanos. I obviously do not want them in a display, but they're the pretty green ones, and coral frags are expensive here, so I've moved the scraped survivors to a pest jar where it can live/compete with/eat blue clove polyps. Question: what do majanos eat? Can they survive off of energy transfer from photosynthetic xooanethellae? Can I give them an occasional shot of reef roids?

Mojano's can eat meaty foods, mysis very small pieces of shrimp etc. not sure if they can survive on photosynthesis alone or not.

Well, they're not doing particularly well in isolation. I'm not feeding my pest jar, and the majanos look shrivelled. I put a tiny frag of some zoanthids of uncertain provenance in with them, and they are doing well.
