Unhappy Majanos!!

Hi everyone, just wondering who knows the best way to kill of the majano mushrooms FOR GOODI tried "Joes Juice", It didn't work it only spread them worse. I battled with aiptasia anemones when I first started the hobby, the Joes juice worked great! Not this time!....Any ideas lots of my SPS is getting burned. thanks for the help!

Hi,

It depends on how many you have.... You could try placing a small glass over it and then wait until it moves onto the side of the glass. You then lift out the glass and remove the majano! Worked for me..

I usually inject mine with something like lemon juice or a kalk solution. I did recently try injecting them with air, but I am not quite sure of the outcome yet. You have to get them right in the foot.

I don't know about putting lemon juice in my water, but I guess I could try air. The biggest problem here is that, since I've started to use coral food, these guys are spreading all over the place! I tried the heavy calcium dose injection as well, with minimal success. The needle was even hot from the chemical reaction!. I really don't want these things to spread any more

You can try peppermint shrimps.
Or a file fish, redcoral has a few of these aptaisa eating file fish.
There is also a type of nudibranch that gets rid of them.(Berghia)

Best stuff to ue is the Aptasia/Majano killer by Tailored Aquatics, we use it all the time and it kills both quite quickly.

Berghia Nudibranch will eat aptasia,not majanos, but good luck finding them, I've been looking for them for the store (to sell) and from what I see no one has it but one supplier in Texas.

Pepermint shrimp, will kill aptasia (small ones), they won't touch large aptasia or majanos.

Copperband, aptasia only.

Just from my experiences in the store.
