Anemonia Majanos?

[Funkoid]

Yesterday evening I have just started getting these popping up all over the place? There are a couple right next to the stalk of the toadstool coral I inherrited too?

Note the gatherings bottom left of the stalk.

Am I correct in thinking they're anemonia majanos and are therefore pests?

Any tips on how to get rid of them? Is the soldering iron option a good way to go?

Haven't seen this for a while. Looks like it to me. Read this lInk - it's helpful and a quick read

Best one on there is the aispasia x if you ask me cos it's reef safe to use.

Hmmm, may try burning the ones I can get to easily and then order some aispasia x.

Edit - do you think that will be enough?

As long as you get them all!! Makes sure there's definately none left and no pieces of it go back in the water.

Well... what a night of nightmares! I've spent the last 4 and a half hours or more getting every bit of rock out and frying as many as I could see on each bit. I'm praying that I've gotten them all I really don't fancy doing it again will be on extremely high alert for at least the next few days.

If I buy some of the treatment is it easy enough to administer when the rock is in the tank? I'm regretting having bought 'pre-owned' live rock now

Lol. never mind!! Well done for getting rid of it so far. It's pretty easy - it comes in a syringe and you inject it into the middle of the anemone. So depends on where it is! As long as you can get the syringe in it'll be easy!
Hope you don't get any more!

I've caught site of one more this morning, looks like I nuked it but didn't clear up properly, it was one sat right next to the toadstool coral so I was trying to go easy..... It'll be gone tonight that's for sure!

Well I've cleaned the one up i spotted this morning then found another two... I'm on high alert, they're really making me mad now

The treatment for them is on the way tomorrow so i can have a two pronged approach!

On the plus side I think I may have found something cool....queue new id thread!!
