I'm still kind of new to the hobby, but even if it is a Manjano, why not keep it? I know they're titled under "pest" anenomes, but I head they don't reproduce like Aptasia do. All anenome's sting, so what's so "pesty" about them, if they're that cool looking?

My understanding is that majanos can spread quickly and sting/kill other corals. It hasn't reproduced, and its been several days, I am inclined to think it is not majano.

This is still going on?
I thought we solved this on Post #2
Others weren't as sure as you were. But, I think you are right. It is some type of anemone.

I am no expert, but don'e Ricordia's have mouths, and are actually a type of anenome? This thing looks exactly like my ric, including the coloration on the tips.
I think rics are mushrooms. =P

This is from a site about FL. Ricordias
An interesting fact about the florida ricordia is that many of the corals feature multiple mouths- an excellent advantage when it comes to filter feeding. A relative of the anemone, the florida ricordia is also known as a mushroom coral, false coral, and mushroom anemone. Interestingly enough, the florida ricordia is not even a real coral, and is more similar to its relative the anemone than other large polyp stony corals.

That is interesting. The way it eats really looks like an anemone, so this would make sense. Thanks for that info.
