Help with Identification

[theprince]

I need help identifying these mystery anomones. They came as hitchhikers on a mushroom rock I got several months ago. They don't look like the Aptasia that I am familiar with.

It looks like a majano to me. It is a pest and can spread quickly!!

I agree with Mungus... Majano, and most definately spreads quickly!

this is what I think of as Aptasia

how do i kill it - will Joes Juice work?

 

[LakeEd]

Joe's Juice will work, and so will a Kalk paste (usually)

I agree with Ed

I have also had 100% success with hot water. Check this thread.

it looks like Joe's is doing the trick. The small ones are gone, the big ones have shrivled. I have treated them twice but i just use a tiny amount. It will probably take one or two more treatments.

I appreciate the help
