Yea... i think so! The picture I saw of the mojano looked nothing like this little guy. The guy in my tank has a pinkish base and lightbluish bubbley things coming off of it

my first thought was that it could be a teeny tiny frogspawn...and with the way you describe it as pink with bubbley things coming off of it makes me think that it really could be a baby frogspawn bc thats exactly how i would describe mine!

Somehow I missed this ID post. Sorry Adairable....
It's a Caribbean Mushroom of some type. Probably Pseudocorynactis.
These are Ahermatypic (do not need light). If you feed it then it will reproduce. It's not harmful to other corals but it will probably crawl to a dark location like the bottom of a rock.

I think mine has a mouth? in the middle.....does that make sense? It has the bubbly things radiating out of the center where there looks to be a mouth?
I DUNNO!

GoD! I can't believe you missed it! You are a lousy friend!!!! HHAHAHA just kidding! You're the best!
What if anything would i feed it if its ahermatypic because that would mean that its not photosynthic....? right?
And in the meantime I will look at some pics and see if I can make a clear identification....

Here's a picture of one of mine that's closely related to yours. They are also sometimes called Ball Anemone or Jewel Anemone. Yours is a very pretty specimen, most are not nearly as colorful.
It will eat any meaty bits of marine origin. They would also probably eat Pellet food.
They will thrive just fine on detritus & pods in a healthy system so there's is no need to directly feed them unless you want more of them.

Awesome Bang!
You're the man, I have some of those too and I always wondered what those critters were, but never took the time to look them up.
Thanks!
:joy:

Sweet! I have one just like yours and 3 or 4 clear ones on another rock.
Anyone know how big these get?

Sounds like fancy talk for "computer guy" if you ask me.
