growing balls! what are they!

[JASONinNM]

So aside from the aptasia that needs to be treated in my tank iv also noticed these little greenish balls that are each attatched to a stem or something (here is a crappy quality pic) I don't quite know how to explain it.... like small small nems with ball tips or spmething...

Its located in the center of the picture its kinda small, dark, and crap quality but u can pretty much make out the general aperance of it. Does anyone have a clue??

it looks like a majano anemones to me.

I was looking that up and I agree... that's what it kinda looks like... they are just as bad as the glass nems right???

 

[Boiler Reef]

I have 2 or 3, so far they haven't caused to many problems, but the answer is yes they should be eliminated

I am going to stick with my first post and tell you it is majano anemones. do a google search and you will see many pic's and youtube vedio on how to get red of them

I would have to agree. Majanos. Get some Joe's Juice and deal with them while they are small and you can get to them.

Joes juice will not kill them. From what i have read at least

 

[mr_X]

kalkwasser paste or joes juice in a syringe will kill anything, if applied correctly. you have to be generous with it. a nice glob right on the mouth, then another on the shriveling body after it closes up on the initial dose. i've never seen any aptasia or majano live through this.

Joe's Juice will kill them....as I have done. You squirt it right onto the oral disk and voila, no more majano. Bigger ones will need more and/or more than one application.

I've taken out xenia with Joe's Juice. If you ever try to cut that stuff out of your tank, the smallest piece left on the rock will grow back into a new one. After the cut you apply some juice and then the xenia won't come back.

I think that's what they are too... as I do my home work and try and read on everything I can! I just got aptasia x and killed off a lot that I had growing and have one treatment tonight to get the ones that I miissed last time ( which are two very very small ones) that hopefully my two peppermint shrimp will eat them as I think they have sevral other small ones...

Thanks guys! Are they similer to glass nems and shoot off pores when they retract ?

Also I have a lot of new pics of frags and other corol life in my ttank that I wanted to know what they are.... id greatly appreciate if some of u can take 5 min. Out of your day and check them out! I posted them under the 'identification section'
