There should be a law. I had a few of these appear in my tank last month and had never seen or heard of them before. Thanks to this forum I was told to do.
The ebay seller says it is an anemone that will not sting corals??

I sent the poor winner a PM begging him to do a search on these guys before he added it to his tank. This is really disgusting.

I sent him an email too directing him to RC and the thread I started when I found them in my tank.
I also sent a message to the seller. Informing him about what he was selling in case it was an honest mistake??
Wonder if he will tell the buyer.
Pretty amazing so many people would bid on a majano.

If you check his feedback it looks like he's been selling these for quite a while, 4 pages of feedback, 3 of them are mostly majano sales....

I bought a majano from the LFS knowing it was a majano. The guy working there was a little confused (actually a knowledgeable LFS), but let me have it for $5. It was just so cool looking...

My mushrooms sure did not like the majano. I got them oput before I could see if any of my other corals couls tolerate their non sting.

I have them all over one of my tanks and they do not bother the corals that I have at all.

One dude on nano-reefs was BRAGGING about the "steal" he got on a BUNCH of anemones. Once we told him what they were he kept playing it off and wouldn't admit he made a bad purchase. Some people...

I do not think they are the same pest as you all think, this same guy was talked about awhile ago and it was determined that what he sells is a different anemone
