Majano Anemones

I am upgrading to a bigger tank and my existing live rock is full of Majanos
so while working/daydreaming today I thought of an idea....
with such cold temperatures outside If I took each piece of infested live rock out for 10 minutes would that be sufficient enough to kill off the Majanos ?

hard to say, I know aiptasia can regenerate from only a few cells, so It might not work as to my knowledge(which is limited

) majano is worse then Aiptasia. but It could work? maybe? lol

If they are as hardy as aiptasia then nope, I torched a rock then placed outside in -30 weather overnight then put in a bucket. They came back.

Wont work.

My buddy had an epidemic of the bastards, he put the rock on his back porch for a week and they came back.

Try soaking in water with bleach, then baking in the oven, but remember to leave a window open!

I boiled the rock from my first 30 gallon once.. that worked. However, I wouldn't recommend using your wife big roasting pan to do it... they dont' like that.

Wow they can survive that harsh of conditions.... damn
i guess boiling would be the only easy way out....
any tips/suggestions before i go ahead other then not using the same pot food is being cooked out of ?
lol
