Feeding coral and manjos

[MattL]

So I want to have healthy corals and feed them, however I don't want to keep feeding manjos. Any ideas on what size of food manjos eat?

Just having light is enough to sustain them, then whatever trace bits floating works too. Going to have to root them out or accept them. (I've got a wierd species I'm toying with and may even purposely keep in a nano.)

Feeding coral and manjos

Majanos are a type of anemone that are generally unwanted. If you feed your tank at all, they will get ahold of some food. Although not as quick as aptasia, they will spread rather quickly and can sting other corals.
You can try boiling RO water and injecting that in them, or kalk pasting them. Craigar just sold a "majano wand" to another club member. It appeared to use electricity to melt majanos.

Fish poop is the best food for coral; I would not recommend feeding your coral.

Injecting Majanos with lemon juice is a great low cost solution and it works. I had them everywhere when my tank was new and was able to eradicate them using this method. I just bought some lemon juice and some diabetic needles. It didn't harm any of my coral.

In your case did you "inject" by just pushing it in around the mouth, or actually pierce and push in the side of the stalk? About to go on a rampage on some aiptasia when I have more room to move rocks to different tanks.

Well I take that comment back slightly. The only coral I feed are scolymia; these tend to wither away in captivity

You gotta stab them and inject. They'll shrink up so you have to catch them off guard. You know you'll do it right when you see a little puff after waiting a few seconds. They'll basically disintegrate after getting it inside them. I usually touch the tip of the needle to the rock.
