Help Identify Hitchhikers - PICS

nz_mitch · 02/03/2007, 11:14 PM

Hi everyone,

Just a couple of days through setting up my first marine and I wanted to make sure I had a good idea of what was already in there beofr I started thinking about what else to add.

Sorry about the blurry pics, auto-focus is unfortunately just hit and miss and these wre the best of the bunch.

Any help confirming just what these hitchhikers are would be much appreciated:

1. I'm a bit worried this one's Aiptasia:

2. A baby BTA? Or is it just Mojano..

Many thanks!
Mitch

Well the first one is aiptasia, and I'm not sure about the second.

It's safe to say that the second one is a Mojano.

peppermint shrimp will keep you clear of aiptasia and dynamite will take care of the mojano

I'd get rid of both of them, quickly. This thread talks about methods of killing Aiptasia:

Many of the ideas will work for majano.
