Just got my biocube 14g setup. Here are my hitchhikers
first I think is an Aiptasia.

Second I think is a Majano.

Man my tank is looking green in the pics
. Let me know what you think?
Thanks a ton in advance

I agree on the first pic but I think the second one is just a feather duster, I am sure it is not a majano.
Does it withdraw into the rock if you get near it, then fan back out? If so it is a feather duster. Otherwise it is something else but not majano.
A majano has a stalk, it has bulbs on top and it does not withdraw into the rock if disturbed but closes its head.

I can see saying aiptasia for the two pics...feather duster was iffy, but I thought majano had a stalk, and the tips are long with bulbs on the end.
Is there more than 1 type of majano?

Some of the majano in my tank look almost like a cross between aiptasia and a majano like you see in books. They have the ability to do the same thing that BTA's do, where they loose their bubbles and stretch out a little.
