milky Kalk mixture and a syringe will do the trick

A Peppermint shrimp will take care of them if they're small. Not much will eat big ones. I had 25 - 30 in my 72G and two Peppermint shrimp wiped them out in about 3 weeks.

Just throw a Raccoon in there and say to hell with the polyps and mushrooms.. Those are an easy fix. If you don't fix the aiptasia problem that will be a bigger problem.
Hmmmm
Peppermint shrimps tend to eat Aiptasia, but never heard of them eating Majano Anemonia ... I don't think the peppermint shrimp will touch those.
Sure you have your info right about the peppermints eating them?

A quick search made me think they were one and the same. Looking a little closer I think I was wrong.
Chris,
Here a link that shows both. Which do you have?

Or try a copperband it might eat them as well as bring color to the tank.
Looking into the Copperband Butterflyfish...Caution in reef tank.But at the present time all i have is 3 different polyps and 1 mushroom..And about 300 of them Majano and 1 other kind..Just wondering how long this will take? To clean them up...And which will be the fastest and best result.

There is also a product called joesolution or something like that... I've heard this works really well, I've never tried it but who knows. I would say the fastest would be a big raccoon butterfly. Long be hold I saw a big ass one at Saltwater City today selling for like 39.99. You could then trade it back in and get 1/3 credit. or pass it along to someone else that has a problem

Peppermint shrimp do not eat these.

Difficult to tell from the picture but I believe you are correct they are Majano. Peppermint shrimp will not eat them. Some butterflyfish will as well as some of the large angelfish (Pomacanthus). I have a Blue Face that wiped out 10 or so of them when it matured.

That does not appear to be similar to the Majano Anemonia that I am aware and that is found in the FAQ. That one seems to have more of a disk structure where the Majano seems to have more tenticles similar to a long tentacled anemone. Either way, a peppermint will not take care of those. You will need some sort of fish that will eat them or a syringe and a lot of time to erradicate them with kalk.
