Can anyone help identify??

I was hoping someone might know what this is growing in my refugium.
It's on the acrylic ledge next to LRR, is it an Aiptasia? :notsure:

Are Majanos bad?

 

[debbie]

I don't know about bad, but they do take over quite easily. I personally don't like the look of them. One of our LFS has them in their tanks and sell them too. They are everywhere.

Oh, ok. Thank you so much for the info. I think I will try and find a new home for it.
Thanks again :joy:

might want to treat the cyano bateria also

 

[lion_crazz]

Yep, I would kill that. That appears to be a majano anemone.

Sorry guys, but I don't have Cyano bacteria. I have live rock rubble with Coraline algae, and my refuge is a Trigger System, that has red acrylic on the top, and with the light above, it might look as Cyano. If you are referring to the green, that was a bit of seaweed that was sucked down from the main tank.

Here is a photo of the refuge. The anemone is very tiny 1cm in length, the photos above were taken on a macro setting.

Definately not Aiptasia, they have thinner tentacles
