    Certain butterfly fish have been known to eat them but you run the risk that the fish could also eat your corals, clams, anemones, etc.

    I had a big problem with a. majano in my 90 gallon reef which caused me to break it down (mostly out of frustration over the pests). Before resorting to those drastic measures, I tried adding a copperband butterfly and although it left my corals and clams alone, it also left the majanos alone ::)

    Try a queen conch. Mine loves the stuff and is a voracious eater of anything small on the sand.

    I've looked at the pictures, and I don't think yours are rock anemones. I am currently trying to find a good photo of them online, but it is taking some time.
