    Hey all,

    I noticed one (of my 3) RBTA's has been deflating a lot more than usual. On closer inspection I noticed I have a few majano's on the same rock as the RBTA next to it, not sure if internally there are more majano's in the crevices near my RBTA. Would an RBTA kill a majano or vice versa?

    Thanks,

    I'm afraid the majano would most likely win; they have a more powerful sting, are small enough to slip under the tentacles of the BTA and attack the base, and can also reproduce much more rapidly in the face of danger.

    Don't mean to hijack the thread or anything but what is the comparison of a majano sting to an aiptasia sting? Could a cluster of aiptasia take down an anemone too?
