flowerseller October 21, 2009 Share October 21, 2009 I usually have good luck with aptasiaX but have a few pesky ones that are diehards. Anyone tried super glue gel on the majano's? pros / cons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trockafella October 21, 2009 Share October 21, 2009 I have considered that as well, but haven't tried yet.. Is their anything that actually eats them consistantly..? I think ive read that one of the filefish will..???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason the filter freak October 21, 2009 Share October 21, 2009 pros: it should work cons: if you're doing it underwater the water is going to cure the super glue asap if the super glue gets loose as you're using it, it creates a sticky and harding slick that is easily sucked up by overflows and into pumps/skimmers can cause a big issue have you tried a super thick kalk paste? I use a pipetting syringe rather than anything with a needle make kalk paste that is just short of tooth paste consistency and apply it liberally and leave the power heads off for a little while, the thickness of it though usually make it dense enough that the power heads when they're on don't blow it away anyway. after a couple of days I remove what I can with a turkey baster and stir the rest into the water as precipitate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davelin315 October 21, 2009 Share October 21, 2009 Inject it with effluent from your kalk or calcium reactor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabrego October 21, 2009 Share October 21, 2009 I have had good luck with peppermint shrimp, although some people report that they do not work very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefhunter October 21, 2009 Share October 21, 2009 the best way is to grab ahold of the nem with bone cutters and pull it right off.. they usually stay in one piece so you get the entire thing... I have some that seem to be immune to aptasia x.. !! I hate majanos... I would rater have 10 aptasia than one majano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctenophore October 21, 2009 Share October 21, 2009 My trio of baby heniochus eliminated my majanos (and aiptasia) in my display tank. The only drawback is that they also eliminated my zoanthids. Fair trade in my case, though. I can put a rock full of majanos in the DT now, and it will be clean within an hour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Garrison October 21, 2009 Share October 21, 2009 majanos suck... they even survived the great tank disaster in August... of course so did the aptasia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might try the heniochus approach, worked for me. Just be aware that they might pick corals. Mine don't seem to bother clams, sps, duncans, softies, most LPS. They did nip a wounded acan for a while, but I took it out and they leave the others alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarosh October 23, 2009 Share October 23, 2009 I've always had luck injecting them with Kalk juice, they dont last long after that and rarely require a second dose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
