Yup looks like you got a Majano. Remove it if possible.

From here, it looks like a Bubble Tip Anemone ( BTA ) possibly a rose bta ( RBTA )

Anyone on a monitor agree with me ?
I think the iphone users can't see enough of it ...

That's not a Mojano.
it looks more like a small bubble tip or rock anemone.

+1, I'll take it off you if you don't want it The Mojano and Aiptasia I have seen have more pointed tips.

Could you get a closer pic?

The structure to me looks like a majano, not a bubble tip, but I could be wrong. There is quite a lot of different Majano's out there.

This one for instance looks pretty similar to his.



The only thing that looks like a Bubble tip as the actual tips. The nipple looking thing at the ends looks Bubble-Tip esque

I may have to go with FishyFishy! on this one as the center is so open

Maybe you'll just have to see if it spreads or splits before you can decide what it is ...

Some forms of Majano's are actually not too bad. They don't spread fast, and some look good.

The rule of thumb with Majano's is the uglier they are, the worse they are. The ugly ones spread really fast. I've had a couple bright green ones that only multiplied once a year or so.

The open center is what brings me to beleive it's not a bubble tip.
