BLOODY MAJANOS

[Cujo#31]

So I have recently erradicated all the pain in the arse aptasia. Nuked the ones I could get to, then, desperate times call for desperate measures, I moved all my fish over to another tank and basicly starved my peppermints into cleaning out the rest of the aptasia.
Now I see a couple bloody majanos. I have heard you can just tweeze them off rocks u cant remove, and kalk paste, but a couple are too close to coral to risk, and rocks too big and nasty to pull out so I can scrape em off.
Any help on this one would be greatly appreciated.

Muriatic acid. Done.

Sounds good. Please speak to me like I draw in crayon now. What the heck is muriatic acid? And does a trip to LFS answer the supply question?
Thanks Brad

It's hydrochloric acid and can be found in hard ware stores used as a cleaning item.

As Steve said, I get it at Canadian Tire. Open it outside, suck some into a syringe and inject into thing wanted dead. Works for aptaisia too. If you have a smaller tank, only do a half dozen at a time so you don't affect pH. Don't get it on your skin or in your eyes. Don't ever add water to acid. Opening in the house will cause it to react with humidity and give off gas. Don't open inside

Aiptaisa-X gets them too, but you have to really pour it on; being careful it doesn't leak to any other corals. Sometimes you "kill" the heads and then can pick off the stem with a tweezers. They are very resilient, as you know. Pests!

I thought this would drastically affect PH levels? How much are you guys using per head for mojanoes?

i have tried Lemon juice didnt work.
I have done KAlk Paste didnt work.
I have done Hot water didnt work.
I have done peppermints it works a bit.
I battled red turf algae then i moved over to Bio pellets. Grizz said it works awesome i did it and its all gone and now i have aptaisia peeve me off.

So how long will it take to kill them. and do they come back? what causes them to grow and come up .

You can kill them off but their will to live will make them always come back. What you really need is something to keep them at bay so your tank won't look like you have any. I use a file fish.
