    Majano Anemone is pesky anemones, like Aiptasia. They have strong stings, venomous cells, nematocysts found in their tentacles, to sting corals and fish. They can be a challenge to get rid of and have been known to take over a reef aquarium by quickly reproducing while stinging and killing other tank invertebrates.

    If they are fighting, the dominant female will revert to being a dominant male. In an Anthias group, the males are dominant, the opposite from clownfish.

    Don’t take this too lightly if the aggression continues and if you do have two females reverting at once they could well kill each other, you need to work out what is going on and why the aggression is there fairly fast.
     

    How do i get rid of aptasia

    Got this from a website. For sharing :lol:

     

    Lemon Juice - Instead of reaching for your bottle of lemon juice to enhance your glass of water or cup of tea, maybe try it as an Aiptasia exterminator. While wearing gloves, fill a syringe with pure lemon juice and inject it directly into the Aiptasia. Make sure to move slowly to prevent scarring the anemone into its hole.

    Other Methods - Some of the other methods commonly used to eradicate Aiptasia include boiling water, vinegar, and even super glue. If you’re considering these methods, there’s a better way that’s less dangerous to you, your tank and your bank account.

    Peppermint Shrimp - Perhaps the most popular natural predator option, Peppermint Shrimp are an effective option if you purchase the right species. Make sure you use L. wurdemanni shrimp, as these little guys are crazy about Aiptasia anemones. But sometimes they can damage other soft corals in rare cases when hungry.

    Copperband Butterflyfishes - While effective killers, these beautiful fish may also find more non-pest inhabitants a delicious meal. These fish tend to consume sessile invertebrates, beneficial anemones, feather dusters and clams. Another word of caution, these fish take time to develop into Aiptasia killers and are notoriously difficult to keep alive in saltwater aquariums.

    Berghia Nudibranch - Classified as a sea slug, the Aiptasia eating nudi is a delightfully interesting creature who has a penchant for pest anemone. Officially known as Berghia verrucicornis, it is a natural predator of Aiptasia and is a safe addition to any reef tank. Unlike other natural predators, the Nudibranch isn’t interested in harming other tank inhabitants or coral. Plus, their shape and design adds a unique aesthetic. You know it’s having its fill on Aiptasia anemone as its gills turn a dark purplish hue as they eat. For optimum control, add four or five Nudibranch’s to your tank and let Mother Nature do her job.

    Aiptasia Eating Filefish - Also known as Acreichthys tomentosus, Aiptasia eating filefish come from Indonesia and are ravenous for pesky anemones. It should be noted that the Aiptasia Eating Filefish are shy fish with a tendency to be aggressive toward its own species and other small fish. While these hungry critters aren’t picky eaters, if their food stores dwindle, they’re known to nip on corals. Only introduce Aiptasia Eating Filefish in relatively large tanks. We don’t suggest using this fish in a tank smaller than 30 gallons.

    Hermit Crabs - In my opinion, hermit crabs are the safest predatory animal. Not only do they consume Aiptasia anemones, but they also have a taste for algae. But these are like peppermint shrimps, maybe they will never touch them at all. it's a lottery.

    Any advise where to buy hermit crab? Those normal ones (not the red or blue legs). Used to buy them at pacific reef or the store in front for $2-$3 per hermit.

     

    Went earlier but those fish shops at pasir ris farmway have been torn down.
