Can Anyone ID my Anemone?

[Troy F]

That is an anenomea majano!!! Devilish creature. They reproduce like aiptaisia, but not much eats them.

A big LFS in cleveland had a plague of them in a 750 display tank. They tried peppermint shrimp, copper bands and several other butterflys. On the advice of a customer, they introduced a large emporer angel, and lo and behold, it chowed down!! Unfortunately, this is not a practical solution for most of us!

Also, rumor has it that Alf Nilsen completely dismantled and re-assembled his huge reef tank (the one pictured in TRA) out of frustration trying to get rid of these things.

They are meatier than aiptasia, and are easier to pluck off of a rock with a dull knife of plastic scraper, and usually won't grow back.

Bottom line.... Get rid of it now, while ther is only one!!
