Hi
I have posted this pic before but need a definitive answer. What type of anemones are these? Are they good or bad? If bad, how do I get them out of my tank without damaging anything else?
Majano
They grow fast and some consider them a pest.. I had them on a small new rock and just scaped them off. I think It was Bang Guy that talked about a toothpick/skewer to pick them off.
If I pick them off, will they release any toxins into my tank? Should I remove the rock they are on and pick them off outside of the tank?
They do grow fast...My one turned into three which turned into 9. I don't want them to double again.
If the rock is easy to remove then I would do that and pick them off. If not, you may just pick them off in the tank. I found mine on the backside of a new zoa rock and was easy to remove since I put it in a few days earlier.

i think there some type of rock anemone, they can spread fast if you dont stop them. i have some in my tank and i kill them with joes juice or mix some kalkwasser into a sringe and inject it into the mouth. usually works great for me. :joy:
If they have pink tips,I have seen these for sale(yes,for sale) on ---- as "Tulip Anemones".I have never had these,or Majono Anemones,which they also look like.But,from what I have read they multiply like mad.It's a shame because they look pretty too.
have fun watching them melt.
