Berghia verrucicornis
Aptasia eating nidibranch
Aptadia nudi, works pretty good so I have heard. After he has done his job, trade him to somebody who needs the help to prevent starving it.

Do they eat Majanos too?

Thanks,

Dan

Sadly no.
But each are easy to eradicate with some persistence. Here is a great thread on them:

Mike,

So your best success was with boiling water?

Dan

 

[Herefishyfishy]

Yes, boiling water works awesome. Where there was a majano within other life such as in a Zoanthid colony, I used Joes.

 

[FishBoyNB]

OK, thanks. Now all I need is a needle.

Maybe I should hit a methadone clinic.

Cheers,

Dan

You don't need the needle, just the hypo (or even a turkey baster.) Your family dentist will give you a hypo with a bent plastic tip if you ask them for it.
