Hello.
I recently obtained a couple of coral frags and this little fella was on one of them. It quickly moved during the night to the front of the glass midway up in my 25g lagoon.
After a week or so, he moved back down to the sand where he currently sits. Not sure if it's Majano. It is the size of a dime or so? There is only one, so if it's bad, now would be the time to remove it.

Thanks!

I would say yes. Compare the pictures.


Looking like you have a aptasia problem as well.

What solutions are you doing to work on them?

Thanks for the quick reply.
Just starting the battle there. Considering a peppermint shrimp if I can find one, but also ordered Joe's Juice. Better options?

I’m in Brentwood.

High tide in Oakland has peppermint shrimp pretty often

Another option is
Aquatic Collection in Hayward

And I'm not certain as I haven't been there in a while but you could give calikids in Concord a call to see if they have them.

Just thinking of some Eastbay options for you.

Joe's juice could work, yet it can just as easily cause them to spread and multiple even more. The shrimp would be a better option assume you don't have any larger fish or big wrasses that might see them as a snack.

Appreciate you, @MichaelB ! I’ll check out High Tide. Cali Kid doesn’t have them in stock.
I have a couple clowns and a watchman.
Back in the day Joes worked for me, but I see a bunch of little ones. Good Times!

If that’s a new system
I recommend a total wash down restart
