Cant be the same if they actually move around, the geen paly's will spring up everywhere if you let them but if yours are moving it would be a majano.

My bet is that is an Aptasia that is semi-retracted because its surrounded by zoanthids.

Polyp, Pally, or Aptasia, I would zap it ASAP.

It's not aptasia. And if anyone has pics of their aptasia that are pink or green, I Would love to see it. Brown is what you see first hand In tanks 99% of the time. The 1% I have made up as after doing tank maintenance I have never seen anything but brown so the possibility had to be rare.

Things on google are often photoshopped. Like the corals people buy online then are surprised its different once it arrived.


No offense meant, but it's not aptasia. It definitely is a paly of some sort. If you look at the oral disc it is very obvious.

Move around? Are you certain ?? Do you have lots?

Grizz majano ? I still think you are spot on with the palys. I had a colony that looked like them.

Does majano not have more rounded ends on the skirt?

I was referring to Reef Puffers question about the movement of a majano, as they are pest anemones they most curtainly can move. I had a few some time ago & before I could zap the little pest they moved. Did get them though as soon as I found them again though, love my zapper

Zapper? Pm me Grizz. Interested in knowing more. I am tired of aptasia x. Worst product I ever bought. Has not killed a single aptasia.

The OP is the only one who can see it clear enough to tell.

I'll be wrong, you can be right.

You guys are all wrong.

It's an exalted neon dragon breath gobstopper and it's probably worth $75/molecule. I'd frag and cultivate ASAP.

*But on a more serious note, it's probably just a solitary protopaly. They sting weaksauce corals like zoas, eat food out of the water column and can SLOWLY reproduce... Kill it if you must, just make sure you don't... you know, kill yourself doing it.

I have like 5 hiding in the gsp. I ended up with a couple more on the glass yhat wondered for a bit untill I nuked them. I still find them hiding in the gsp. I thought pally also untill I found the wondering. I assumed majanos were alot larger? The few I do have left dont seem to be moving anymore? The only way I see them is because the gsp doesnt open about an inch around them. Maybe th op is lucky and they are just a pally? Anyone interested can have mine tho.
