    Thank you. :)

    Thanks Trent.

    I am putting it on egg crate. All other frags/colonies are on egg crate. I will win the aiptasia and majano war, right?????

    It's ugly, trouble makers. :p:p

    Thank you Atticus. :)

    Thanks Jerry, this is a good thing. I just looked at how many pages this thread is, so it's obvious to me that I never get tried of taking Red Planet images. :)

    About winning the war... Good luck lol I have been slowly loosing it to :(
    Just took out a rock with "assorted aptasia" on it yesterday to dry those suckers out. Somehow mine survive kalk and then reproduce like crazy. I am investing in a cbb this weekend. Hope you have better luck than I!

    I have tried every concoction there is. People are lulled into believing they are killing these things, well I got news, unless you kill every single cell they come back and with a vengeance eventually, over the years and months.

    :angry::angry:

    I am going dry rock next.

    Peppermint shrimp worked well for me for years until they started eating the corals.

    A CBB would never make it in my tank.

    I like this shot because you can see the blue tips of the Valida. It's coming off the rock too, and this branch of the RP is the closest to the light so you can see how pink it is.

    I would be really interested in whether the CBB eats any majano, I hear some do.

    ill keep you updated on it if any pop up. I only had one majano which I completely encased in epoxy. I havent seen it in a few weeks now lol
    I guess thats one effective way of getting rid of these suckers...

    I had to use Epoxy to get rid of mine too. I tried all the "tried and true" methods. Boiling water, Kalk paste, lemon juice, rock removal, etc. The only thing that worked was encasing it in epoxy. Been 2 months and haven't seen one yet. Good luck to both of you.

    Used this method with hydroids, worked well. I think I am beyond that help with the majano now unfortunately. Add to that I already nuked my rock once about 6 month back for this issue.
