Majanos!!
Darn... I guess I have a had an inkling that is what I had. They sure look the same.
My biggest one is roughly 2 inches with the tentecles spread. They have split twice, so I have 4 now. Thats in 2 and a half years.
Mine don't spread very quick, so still controllable.
Sorry Catherine for hyjacking, your corals are awesome. Someday I will have some tool.

I have a less polite name for them....

I have tried injecting them with lemon juice, air, and kalk paste with no luck. My next step is going to be covering them over either with epoxy or with super glue. They are a HUGE pain and they spread quickly and easily.

I want a raccoon butter fly, or two!

Well, mine look just like that, but do not spread. Hopefully, then, mine are not majanos.

Give them time .. they will.

I had the same sort of "live and let live" philosophy with mine. In hindsight this was a tactical error. All of a sudden one day I just noticed they are everywhere and on every rock, even in the scutes of some of my clams.

I would keep an eye on them for sure.

The raccoon is the only thing that took a liking to them. I had a CBB before and he wouldn't touch the majano's.

I'm trying to convince Kevin to go for a drive today. I can't drive because I have a knee injury. Maybe he'll take me on a trip for all of the above, butterflies, shrimp, TA products, and some other goodies.

I've figured out the "trick" with this new system and my next chosen brand of salt. Things have really been 'popping' lately. It just top off via a kalk reactor, and dose with baking soda for dKH at around 8-9ppm. I have the calcium reactor offline, but I would like to get it back online, and saving me the trouble of dosing.

You should give Taylored Aquatics Aiptasia Detroyer a try.. I had a couple Mojanos in my old 20G nano, and it nuked them instantly.
