Believe I have one in my tank right next to my zoas but due to the location and angle I cant get a good pic what so ever. All I can see is a brownish skirt that'll react to being touched and has little bulbs on the end of it. But can I use aptasia X on it if it is in fact a majonoe nem?

I've never had one before, do they grow like wild fire or what? I just know they are considered a pest.

Also would a laser work on it?

That looks more like an aptasia than a majano to me.

In either case, the aptasia X worked better on our majanos than that did on the aptasia.

I would highly recommend aptasia X for killing majano.

Just be careful with it. You can squirt out a lot more than you expect.
Get it really close with a steady hand before you squirt.

I've used aptasia X on aptasia and it gets rid of it pretty well in my tank. But I cant even get a clear ID on what it is on my zoas because it stays out of veiw except for the very tip of it. But I'm almost certain it's a pest nem because the zoas touching it are receding back.

I've effectively used AptasiaX to kill Aptasia, Mojanos, Green Palys, and Zoas.

It kills zoas? So then do I have to worry be abuse this is in the middle of my zoas? I also have another aptasia right in the center of some pallys.

No. You have to put it right on and over the mouth. I nuke Aptasia in my zoas all the time without harming them. It's just a simple remedy if you have zoas encroaching on another coral. You can melt a few without having to get out the scalpel. If you get some of the AptasiaX on any zoas just blow it off with turkey baster or something similar.
