Zoa on Hermit Crab

[Tankkeepers]

Also if u have to treat in tank inject them with 3 percent peroxide use a very very small amount less then 1/2 ml per 10 gallon total daily so u don't hurt anything else not 1/2 mil per but the total treatment do as many as possible with that amount then wait 24 hours and go after the next batch reaper till all have been killed

Good luck

That dude just suggest restarting your tank because you found a few majanos? Lol what the heck. Majanos aren’t even as bad as aiptasia and can be killed using the same methods.

Steve is absolutely correct kill em quick or they will kill everything else they have a much worse sting then aphasia and spread just as fast

There may be a spectrum. I have had about 30-50 majano in my tank they aren't really spreading.. They live with all of my corals. They do tick the Zoas off but don't seem to affect anything else.

I have a majano tank and they are not that bad. Old pres of our reef club had them in his sps tank and didn’t really bother his sps. They really are not that bad, but if dealt with early, easy to eradicate.

I’ve had a majano in a small container for nearly 2 months now lol. It just recently split! I think they’re pretty cool.

Agreed. I think restarting the tank is a bit of an overreaction.

I'm in management mode. I kill off a few every few weeks. They don't really encroach. I have them up against chalice's singularia mushrooms a bunch of Zoas. They only irritate themselves at which point I go in with a scalpel and just remove it from the foot. I've got a file fish in quarantine right now I am hoping to train to eat majano. I've isolated a few on frag plugs . Are you going to put the frag plugs in the quarantine tank. Nothing but one or two mijanos. Hoping this will teach it they are food so that when he goes in my tank he finds them. Will report back

Why? Restarting is the nuclear option. A few majano isn't the end of the world bud.

I was not aware the OP had much livestock. If you had just started the tank and had little in it it would be much easier just to restart and clean the rock IMO. Aren’t majanos harder to get rid of than aiptasia?
