![]() "Anemonia majano is a small species of anemone that can quickly reproduce asexually in the aquarium. It can be considered a pest as it can overgrow and suffocate stony corals. It’s a shame really as they are attractive animals in their own right, looking like miniature bubble-tip anemones, often with fluorescent green tentacles. I let a few live in my own systems, just intervening if they show signs of spreading. To control these anemones use the same sort of procedures as for Aiptasia anemones: - Physical removal – just break off the bit of rock they’re settled on, being careful not to leave any fragments of tissue behind from which they could regenerate to grow into new anemones. Inject with a strong calcium solution – some people use Calcium Hydroxide but I prefer to use Calcium Chloride as this limits the chance of calcium being precipitated out of the water. I find this method to be safe and to work well as long as you remember you’re injecting into a very thin skinned animal and use care to ensure you’re not just injecting straight through it!"
