glass anemones
I have recently had a small outbreak of glass anemones.
from what I read you really need to nip the anemones in the bud before they become a problem! I was wanting some advice on this. I have tried removing them with my fingernail, twezzers and other sharp objects, but they still grow back. I was considering scraping them off and placing some super glue over the area where it was growing. does anyone think that will work or should I just chizzel the rock apart. Thanks

You should use Joe's Juice. One dose will probably take them out. For control after that, peppermint shrimp or a copperbanded butterfly. I like the butterfly myself - I had to squirt the largest 3 or 4 with the "juice", but since getting the butterfly all 20 of the others in my 215 reef disappeared and not a single one has appeared in the 18 months since.

I had some majanos appear and I covered them with a kalk paste. They never returned.

Joe's Juice or Kalk paste will do the trick.

Same here. I mixed up some Kalk paste, covered them and that was it. I have not seen any new ones in several months.

Just get some Kalk powder which is used to maintain your calcium level and add a few drops of water till you make a thick paste, consistency of tooth paste.
