I had a tank that was being overrun with Majanos. Literally hundreds of them! I thought that I had tried everything, but it turns out that there were a couple of things that I hadn't tried, one being a Majano Wand, and the other being a Mottled Filefish. The Majano Wand took care of the ones that you can get to. I literally fried/smoked/cooked them little buggers right out of my tank! Very gratifying, seeing them dissolve before your eyes! The ones that I couldn't get to the filefish took care of. I still have a few Majanos in the tank, that neither the Wand nor the Filefish can get to, but for the most part, it is Majano free! If I could change one thing on the Majano Wand, it would be that the stem could be moved, or the angle of the head changed, so that you could get into some of the cracks and crevices. Other than that, it worked very well for me!

Product works great just wish they made a model with a shorter wand. The aiptaisia I have are in the rock which faces the back of the tank so the long wand makes it difficult to get into tight spaces. I can't take the rock out as the coral is growing across two or 3 pieces of rock and Idon't want to disturb it.
The ones I have zapped with have melted nicely

I was hesitant to buy the Majano Wand after reading some of the negative reviews below, especially about the planula, but I contacted Majano Wand and they assured me that the Majano Wand DOES in fact kill the Planula. I have no idea what the previous reviewer is talking about (I searched every forum i belong to, and then a general google search, and never once found any claims to back up what he says. I think John Defranco myst work for a competing company or has a bone to pick bc his experience/claims are so different from what I have read/experience that it's hard to believe him!
I do agree that the Majano Wand could be a shorter to get under ledges and in the tight spots in my tank. I asked about having a smaller size made for me (as I have a Solana) and I was told a small version is "in the works".
The Majano Wand worked very fast and killed the aiptasia! A few of the aiptasia did grow back as I was unable to kill all the tissue, but I just killed them again and eventually they all died.
This is a great product!!! I cant believe how long I used Joe's juice and other products for with minimal success (sometimes I even killed nice corals in an attempt to kill a few aiptasia).
This is not a magical cure all for aiptasia, but it works better than anything else ive tried.

I can verify 2 things.
1. This does work on ugly brown mushroom corals (after seeing it in action, I would imagine that it works on any soft-tissued marine pest).
2. It absolutely works as advertised.
Saw this on ReefCentral when PaulB first came up with the idea, but then I forgot about it until I saw this for sale here. Anybody that is at the end of their rope with aiptasia, majanos, mushrooms, or palys/ zoas that are taking over...I definitely recommend this.

Firstly, the vast majority of aiptasia aren't accessible (see other negative reviews). It is impossible to get at even a majority of the organisms in a tank with a live rock substrate. Secondly my research shows that while the device may eliminate the aiptasia it doesn't eliminate the hundreds of planula that will be released as they always do when the parent organism is stressed. I am quite sure that in time one will eventually end up with more aiptasia than started with. All you will be doing is kidding yourself,wasting over S100, and spending the rest of your valuable time waiting for the accessible ones to show up so that you can try again. I would trust the negative reviews before the positive ones.

I had a Majano infestation in my tank! This wand saved about 120lbs of live rock. I literally stuck hundreds of majano and watched them float to the top of the tank. the ones I could not get I removed the entire rock and killed everything on it. I had to cook and cycle about 70lbs of rock after the whole ordeal. It's been about a year since I fixed the infestation and I'm Majano free! I have found maybe 3-4 when I moved some rock but the wand is KING! I highly reccomend this product. Healthy reefer for 5yrs now.

It works great.Easy to use and seems to be well made, wires are secure and long enough to do the job.Was overrun by majanos and nothing else was getting the job done. Two weeks after using the wand and all under control. Just put it on them and push the button.They live deep in cracks so it may take a few times to get them all. Had probably 100 of them now down to a few dont forget they can move. Best way to do the job recomened to anyone.

The wand seems better suited for killing stationary pests.I've had very little luck killing aiptasia with the wand. They retract too fast into cracks and crevices to kill with the wand. Its a novel idea. Perhaps I have to try a different technique?

Best thing I ever bought and worth every penny. The way I see it, after buying all the chemicals available to kill your unwanted pest, taking the risk of killing your whole reef tank and eco system... you'll end up spending more than this wand... It's fun to use too!

Excellent quality I used it for hours today. I found it works best if you go to the oral disc first, poke it, and then push the button, the Nem will close onto the zapper needle and start zappin I went strait into the body down to the foot (many into deep crevases) and made several x marks through the foot. If you push the button b4 you get to the Nem sences the wand from further away and retracts to soon to get a good poke. Keep the button pushed while lifting the wand the Maj. sticks to it and its easier to disguard. I started because I was ready to re-aquascape so I turned every rock. Now to the sump. I'd like to see a next generation with an interchangable tip. Like a wider tip for scraping the LR and, a couple of pivot points for those hard to reach places.
Overall it's fun to use, and works GREAT.
