Majano - Please help me find a reef safe predator

[bronco7777]

I have a reef tank that is begining to take on majano. Joe's Juice is okay but in many cases it makes the anenomes split and compound the problem

I know butterflies can help but are there any invertebrates I can look at to eat majano???

Chaetodon ulietensis is your best bet in a biological solution, but it's not entirely reef-safe. Lysmata wurdemanni shrimp are not very effective against Majano anemones.

You may recall the trick where one uses elegance corals' potent sting to kill aiptasia. I can confirm this works with majano too. Unfortunately, elegance corals simply don't live long in captivity these days, but I do hear reports that recent collection is back to shallow waters like the 1980s and early 90s. www.sandiegocorals.com also sells captive buds of a 80s elegance but he's usually out of stock (high demand).

my frogspwan wipes out any glass anemonies close bye.. maybe it will work on majonos? Also if you have a galaxia it will kill most anything haha.

The Frogspawn doesn't work in my experience because the Mojano just crawl away

I've found that scraping them off with a plastic spoon works as well as anything else. A blunt stick to just squish them also seems to work. They don't seem the have the regeneration ability that Aiptasia have.
