BLOODY MAJANOS

[Aquattro]

As Steve said, I get it at Canadian Tire. Open it outside, suck some into a syringe and inject into thing wanted dead. Works for aptaisia too. If you have a smaller tank, only do a half dozen at a time so you don't affect pH. Don't get it on your skin or in your eyes. Don't ever add water to acid. Opening in the house will cause it to react with humidity and give off gas. Don't open inside

Aiptaisa-X gets them too, but you have to really pour it on; being careful it doesn't leak to any other corals. Sometimes you "kill" the heads and then can pick off the stem with a tweezers. They are very resilient, as you know. Pests!

I thought this would drastically affect PH levels? How much are you guys using per head for mojanoes?

I actually bought a bottle of it yesterday from home hardware for $7 to clean and prep aluminum for paint, very nasty smell.
The label says you can add 200ml to 10,000 litres of water to affect PH by a certain number (can't remember) though I've read over the last year several experienced reefers don't even test or bother with PH anyway

pH isn't normally too much of a concern, but it sure can be if you drop it real fast by adding a bunch of acid, so in this case testing and bothering with pH may be granted.

When I first read about this, I worked out the math re: how much I could add to my tank before it affected pH, and the value was quite high. I don't recall exactly what it was, as that was 20 years ago, but I used it to kill a lot of aptaisia in my 150g (per session) without affecting pH (using a real time monitor).
I use probably 0.5ml or so per head.

Lemon juice also works well on aptasia but not sure how effective it is with Manjo.
