Here is a pic of a small anemone, does anyome know if it is a pest or not, we only have one, about the size of a quarter, it is actually quite neat.

Does anyome know what it is called?

That is toooo cool! I'm not sure what it is though. You will probably need to let it grow up before you can get a positive ID. If I had to guess, I would say some type of fire anemone, but that's just a very wild guess at this point. It's not the pest anemone aiptasia or majano.

It is very cool

We love it, but I need to know more about it....

We'd rather not have to get rid of it, and it is sooo cool

well it might take a while before you can know more about because it needs to grow so it can be identified better.

and yeah i agree its a cool little nem

I see no reason to get rid of it. If it's not causing any problems I wouldn't worry about it. Have you tried to feed it yet?

Feeding

It will eat when I feed the tank if it catches something, it catches the bits of food, sprulina, brine shrimp that passes by, acts like a typical anemone collasping in on the food and stays closed for a while. It has tripled in size over the past three months and since the move into the 120 Gallon yesterday has been opening wider and more often.

I think it has more water flow in this new tank, we tired very hard to keep things open so as not to impeed the current.

well good luck with it!

Wow, that is awesome! I would be careful touching it until you get a positive ID, some nems are pretty nasty!

hey i have a majano anemone in my tank and mine is known as a pest i keep it anyway though.... i kinda like em... i would consider it a pest if it starts to split often..... My majano is said to be invasive, but if it does spilt, i just throw the clone out every time lol..... luckily this hasn't happened yet, but my neighbors did... if u ask me its not invasive unless it starts splitting, in this case just pick it off the rock and flush it : )
-it doesnt look like a glass anenome or anything that would spread regardless of what you do....

I have one aptaisia that I can see. I just leave it there. As long as there is only one, I am not too worried about it. To be honest, I kinda want a manjano.

Darylseed, that is a pretty cool looking hitch hiker.

it could be a corallimorph, they are cool, i have one, its orange and acts like an anenome, they dont sting because when i first saw mine i touched it to see if it was alive and it closed up. If its a corallimorph then they arent pests, i know some poeple on this forum have some in their tank. cool find

Very Cool!
