Identification on possible Zoa pest

[Reefing102begal]

Hey I’ve had these zoas in my tank for a while now and it has had this weird green bubble like polyps in between some Zoanthids. Could anyone help identify what this is?

This is a guess but there is a variety of majano that has bright green tenticles. Does it retract quickly if it's poked?

Im seeing Majano and aptasia if im seeing correctly as pics are somewhat distorted.
A simple method of eradication is using a syringe, inject either lemon juice or better yet. . kalkwasser powder mixed with tank water into a paste the consistency of toothpaste and inject into the very center core and it will melt away

Hey just gave it a poke and yes it does retract, also looked up what a majano anemone is and I believe it could be. Should I play this safe rather then sorry?

I use aptasia X would this work on the majano?

If majano, and not comfortable with squirting stuff around zoas, you can use a small nem cannon. Unlike aips, majano are more prone to reproduce by budding/splitting. They will spawn, but not like aips.

Just use a smaller piece of pipe and smaller piece of sponge to remove the majanos using the link to the reef below. In addition, this ensure that no piece f the majano is left behind that could form a new on in the ones that a removed places.

Safe and Easy DIY way to remove Nems

Due to seeing numerous post recently about how to remove anemones and shrooms without hurting them or destroying rock work. I felt like this was in order. First off, a little back story. Years ago, when I lived in Florida and collected aquatic life on a regular basis, we always had issues with...

Not well. from my experience. Kalk paste or a nem cannon works great.

You can start with it. Getting rid of aiptasia and majano's usually is a prononged process. Assume if there's one there's more and you may need to try different methods.

It looks more like a type of Euphyllia to me?

I too do not have good experience for aptasia X. Some use Zapping with a wand which I also found ineffective.
