Anemone ID
 

Does anyone have any idea as to what species this might be.

It's just cloned, as you can see in the first picture, and now that I'm a daddy I really want to know what they are. :rolleyes: They're about the size of a toonie and seem to be doing really well in a 10g under 2x 28w pc lighting.

Thanks,
Evan

I have a horrible feeling it is the other bad guy, Anemonia majano. See the Hithiker FAQ.

Bob hit the nail on the haed.

take a mix of Kalk and boiling hot water in a Salifert Alk or Ca test kit and inject that mix into the little guys. If you can leave a bit of a paste over top of it when it retracts..

That is how i have dealt with these on prior occasions.

Bob and Darren are right on the money-get rid of those suckers or they will give you trouble! Double trouble! Triple............. and so on.........

I have seen chocolate chip stars that consume these little guys no problem. If you know someone who has a CC starfish, see if you could rent it from them for a couple of days :mrgreen:
All you have to do is place the star right ontop of the majano, and the next day-bam! all gone :biggrin:

cheers, Rich

you know.. it is to bad they are so bad, cuz they sure are pretty :lol:

Bob,

Thanks for the ID. :biggrin: :cry:
I thought they were doing too well for their own good.
Well at least they're only in my nano, so it will be easy enough to deal with them.

Evan.

I have read about people keeping them in a tank by themselves, so it might be fun in a nano. It would not cost anything to fill up the tank, and when you tire of them, you could just redo the tank. :mrgreen:

Bob,

I think that's what I'm going to do, I dont think I'll fill the tank completely but I'm not going to eradicate them either. They're very nice looking and interesting to watch as they are quite active.

Evan.

They will sting corals and kill them. You should remove them as soon as you can. The other thing that I have some consern about is the three leg starfish in the picture. they are harmful as well and should be removed. Hope this helps.

Shame your "offspring" is such a troublemaker at a young age. Now isn't that something to be proud of. :lol:
