best way to get rid of majano nems?

mallorieGgator · 09/15/2010, 12:05 PM

I have kalked these things and now they are back after a week. Any ideas of how to get rid of them perminantly? Thanks!

mcgyvr · 09/15/2010, 12:07 PM

I've had great luck with Joes juice for them..
Or just grab them with a tweezers and pull them out

mallorieGgator · 09/15/2010, 12:16 PM

If I pull them off with tweezers, can't they reproduce?

Michael · 09/15/2010, 12:20 PM

you could zap them with electricity, try to pm paul b here for further info,

I took the rock out and used a torch - worked great.

mallorieGgator · 09/15/2010, 12:24 PM

electricity...torches...lol. I'll see if my husband wants to pull the rocks out and use our hard-core fire lighter to melt them.

dockery07 · 09/15/2010, 12:26 PM

I probably had 500 and 6 months an not one is back

mallorieGgator · 09/15/2010, 12:27 PM

sounds fun! I'm sure he'll enjoy melting them. He loves fire. lol.

dockery07 · 09/15/2010, 12:30 PM

Safety glasses - they squirt

mallorieGgator · 09/15/2010, 12:36 PM

Got it, thanks! I'll do a dip in some salt water too to make sure to get all of the juice off so they don't reproduce in my tank. The down-fall of getting florida live rock are these darn nems. Other than that, this is amazing LR!

you really should check out "electrocuting mojanos", i've even built Paul's contraption BEFORE i even have my tank up and running!

mallorieGgator · 09/15/2010, 01:35 PM

It doesn't sound safe... lol. Water+electricity?

HorsePower · 09/15/2010, 02:05 PM

I use a needle and inject them with vinegar... Seems to work everytime!

mcgyvr · 09/15/2010, 02:56 PM

really tweezers works just fine.. They come off pretty easy (unlike aiptasia)
But like I said Joes juice has worked prefectly for me. Squirt them with the syringe and say goodbye

RiffRaff · 09/15/2010, 03:40 PM

i got a matted filefish. he took care of them. but then we laid waste to everything else in the tank after that

Crustman · 09/15/2010, 05:02 PM

My CBB mowed most of them down.

dublo8 · 09/15/2010, 05:38 PM

I cover mine with rock scape putty.

bobbychullo · 09/15/2010, 06:23 PM

i've used joe's juice.

as soon as I see one, it gets blasted with joe's. only time i had one come back was because i don't think i let the juice sit on the nem long enough to kill it.

i basically do it in the middle of a water change and siphon the left over juice and hopefully any dead nem out...
