Anyone know what this is? Please tell me it’s not aiptasia...

Looks like a majano anenome. Also could be a bubble tip anenome.

Thanks for responding... I don’t think it’s a bubble as it only has one layer of tips but this thing got really large fast ( 2 1/2”). But I think my rock flower sent it packing and the next day it was on the other side of the tank half it size. Are they considered pests? It’s not much to look at...I know nothing about them. It kinda reminds me of the larvae that comes outta the egg in the ‘Aliens’ movies series... :lol:

When I look at it on first glance it appears to be bubble tip anemone of some sort. Especially if it’s moving around.

I believe manjano only get to be about an inch or so in size.

If it is a manjano they are considered very bad pests as they spread very quickly in the tank. I do not know if they move around, however you may have more than one of them which would explain in multiple places in your tank.

I would keep a close eye on it especially if you do not have any bubble tip anemones in your tank so therefore no reason to have a small one.

It is definitely not an Aiptasia

It's a bubble tip anemone . Give it good light and food it will get the color on

I have 4 of them. And they definitely move. I’ve only ever had 4 in different areas of the tank (about a year). I initially thought they were bubble tips too but as the one got bigger it just didn’t look the same as on the web. Maybe I’ll just wait and see what happens. I’m still new to this hobby...

Thanks for your input. I did recently upgrade my lighting. Probably why I’m noticing it more. I hope that’s what they are and not manjano. Now that I’ve done some research on them. I’ll wait and see... fingers crossed.

My money is on mojano

Check out the following post, apparently majanos walk as well. The picture posted Jan 6, 2014 looks a lot like what you have.

Which post?

Sorry brain dead

Could definitely be a a madani, it would probably come down to the tentacle tip shape.

Lol... did you see my initial post? Now that’s brain dead...lol I appreciate all your help. I think what I have are majano. Wish me luck in getting rid of them before they multiply.

I wonder if a copperband butterfly would eat those? Mine destroyed every single aptasia it could find.

Thanks for sharing.. I’ll have to keep that in mind..maybe. Though I hear copperband butterfly fish are difficult to care for. Not sure if I’m ready for a fish like that. Are they reef safe?

They are hard to feed, once aptasia disappears your CBB has to eat Mysis and some just don’t. My CBB is Reef safe and a model citizen in the reef. Just an option if your majanos get out of control and you want a natural solution.

I think you mean Majano:wink:

That is correct...my phone likes to change things for me to help with spelling :razz:
