Majano’s, what a menace!

[Nordy]

This one has had all sorts of attempts on it’s execution. Majano Wand, Kalked with a fine tipped syringe, and my almost daily aggressive attempts with epoxy. I’ll entomb that little beastie and it comes out the next day!
So I guess I’ll let it grow, and get a good scalpel now? Any suggestions? Do the Aiptasia Nudibranchs get to work on them? I will be getting some peppermint shrimp in a few weeks, but they are mainly Aiptasia eaters if I remember correctly? I will add one to this tank as a CUC and hope it’s not a villain to a Button Scoly!

I have had great success by freezing rocks for 24 hours to remove mojo infestation. They are not susceptible to any natural predators ime.

The coral on the frag will not survive either, so I don’t know how to solve this one.

Kris, it’s always great getting to hear from you! They are tough! I think I put most of that base rock together with a reef rock cement. Maybe, I need to restart that tank, it’s 4-5 months running now. I got a fish that devours anything, quite the character. I think the Chalk bass ate my Harlequin shrimp! The butterfly fish is so rich in character. Julian recommended him to me on the phone, this one really chewed my zoa’s up!

I thought I might take that Scoly out and put it in the tank with the Butterflyfish for a while. I’ll get a shady, shimmering spot since the lights are a lot for a Scoly in there. Trick with that fish is feeding often and plenty of corals to pick on, I wrote off the Zoa’s, it can be hilarious when I shoo it away from a coral, because it likes to play when it gets a rise out of me. So it backs up momentarily, puts up the yellow dorsal(not a surrendering sign) and then comes back to the same coral, hovers, and waits for a reaction. Little Devil, but charming too..

What was it like using the Mojano Wand? How did it seem to work at the time? Is your Wand maybe defective?

@Paul B I've only used it on aiptasia, but it worked. Is there anything special to do vs Mojanos?

I have very low success with the wand. It has to be a bullseye, instant zap in the oral disc. Having reef rock that’s porous and plenty of cavities lowers my chances of a successful zap.

My aim sucks but I just keep hitting them until there's nothing left but a smoking stump of goo.

(I'd never be able to treat more than one or two with it....it would take me all day and all night. )

I get you!
