Softie... Identification... What is this?
I just bought some LR from an established reef/fish system... It has tons of this on it...
Not sure if it's coral or anemone? First attempt at figuring out what it is.. just took the pics yesterday... Any ideas? Leaning towards coral... but.. unsure... even if so.. what kind? Thanks Greg |

Majano anemones. They're pests like aiptasia in that they grow very rapidly and will sting nearby corals/inverts. You might want to look into buying some Joe's Juice.

agreed, mojanos. They suck, I've heard racoon butterflies will eat them

They actually seem to like them... Admitting they can be a threat in a nutrient rich overstocked tank.. that said.. that kind of tank is probably more common on NR than on most other sites (by the very nature of the word nano ) read up here http://www.wetwebmedia.com/anemoniafaqs.htm (followed the link from an earlier message.. as I really respect Fenner and co's opinions) These do not fragment like the aptasias do... I am contemplating leaving them and just limiting them to certain places... Very interesting species.. reminds me of dandelions.. prettier than a lot of "flowers" but considered a pest Obviously the page is very large.. but I saw this one right as I went back to the page.. Take a look Quote:
Seems like it'd be great for fuge/sump duty.... I am in Chicago.. anyone who would like some of them and is local to Chicago your welcome to some (obviously for free) According to wwm there is little to no threat of them making it thru a pump and back into the main tank... I think they look rather good... So I am thinking about trimming them back to a single rock and keeping them in check.. Just thought I would offer any up rather than flushing them down the toilet..
