LOL, thanks Catherine

I ended up trying the 4N sodium hydroxide route. Works like a charm and I've gone on two killing sprees so far with a third scheduled. I just kill them as I find them and a couple rocks I have just removed from the tank and either removed the majanos manually or doused them liberally with the sodium hydroxide due to the sheer numbers of majanos on them (there are only a couple rocks like that with 10+ majanos).

+1 Sodium Hydroxide is far & away the best pest remover I've seen.

Is this the same stuff that you "appropriated"? What about us normal people who don't have an "awesome" job with such access? How would we find it?

I will assume that thses guys will die the same as aiptasia... TORCH THEM!!! Pull the rock out, torch the bugger with a bic lighter... or better yet, one of those little torch lighters. It will pop, and turn black, at such time you can laugh and call it names.
