    Those don't really look like aptasias to me. What are Manajos? Just wondering, I've never had to deal with Manajos. I did have two large aptasia. I bought some stuff to inject directly into them and I havent seen them since.

    All those things that look like zoas are majano's.I would not kill them with joe juice,theres too many,if you killed the majority in the tank,all those dead nems would definitly cause a bad ammonia spike that would probably kill everything eles in the tank as well.I would nuke it.

    they are also referred to as Tulip anemones. I had them bad in my old tank. they are very invasive and once they are this bad, you are fighting an uphill battle. they are also in places you cannot see. i would kill mine back one a year only to find them returning shortly.

    i really dont want to nuke the rock because i have corals attached to some of the rock and dont want to loose them but if all else fails that might be the answer

    also if i take all the rock out and nuke it wont it stress out my fish and about the corals on the rock cabbage and colt also star polyps could i cut them at the base off the rock and put them in sand bed until ready to go back in

    Not taking a drastic measure to get rid of them your running the risk of loosing much more then just the coral on that one rock.

    Just sayin.. :-/

    Nuking the rock is a drastic measure guys. that many anenomes garunteed arew on more than just that one rock. Probably some on every single rock. find out if you can find somthing that eats them before you go basically starting your tank all over agian. remember you are he one that will have to do the work not the sugggesters.

    Yes very true. I wil never tell someone they HAVE to do something to be successful, but I have been there where he is now. I started all over.

    no matter how you go, best of luck to you.
