What is this polyp?
Hi everyone. I just bought some Fiji LR from Aquatica and something is growing on it!
Is this a bad hitchhiker? and if so what can i do to remove it? Thanks!

Majano anemone. Generalized term for a pest anemone. While that one is quite pretty, it's best to get rid of it before it starts reproducing. You can inject it directly into it's mouth with one of the products like Joe's Juice or Stop Aiptasia, or you can use some kalk slurry or lemon juice.

Be careful with the lemon juice approach, it tends to just make them angry and they come back stronger and multiply unless you hit them with it just right.
You can also try peppermint shrimp, they tend to go after smaller ones and will eat them. |
