My friend had a 200g tank FULL of majano. He spent days with a dull pair of scissors yanking them out one by one. The dull scissors would grip the Majano but not cut them, making them the perfect tool for this task. It was a PITA but it worked.

A search on copperbands should bring up my thread on feeding them store bought "manilla" clams. Mine came from Superstore. I had pics of them eating it.
Many say they never bothered their ornamental clams after feeding these but mine did. However he did before, so I dont blame him for that.

Definitely wouldn't introduce a known pest into your 90g.
Quarantine the rock in the 30g until it's majanos free. Deal with them manually (cutting, pulling, burning) or chemically (kalk, vinegar). Don't need much light to keep the mushrooms going.

set up a 50g-ish sized tank, throw the majano covered rock in it, and throw your copperband in there. If the copperband eats the majanos, it's a win win situation, and you don't have to worry about the anemones spreading to rock in your main tank. once the anemones are gone you move both the rock and the fish to your display tank. While the fish is in the anemone ridden tank, you can try feeding it alternative food (clams, etc). Try brine shrimp too, about 4-5 times a day. I've found 50% of the copperbands I have experience with will eat brine if it's fed very often throughout the day in small quantities.
You might even be able to cram 50 pounds of rock into a 33g if you're on a budget, and set up a cheap aquaclear HOB filter.

Cooking rock means to have it sitting in the dark (bucket, rubbermaid container) with a powerhead and heater only. water changes aswell. you would have to dry the rock for a while first to kill everything off. after its dry you cook it. after its cooked 4-6 weeks min (no Smell) you can intoduce it to your system.
