Is this a Manjano Anemone?

Wiskey · 12/16/2017, 10:44 PM

This came in on a piece of LR out of someone's tank. At first I thought it might be a baby BTA, but now I'm 99% sure its a Manjano Anemone.

Before I take action can someone please help confirm?

Majano is a somewhat imprecise term to describe a whole bunch of pest anemones. I say that because while your picture is different from the majanos I usually get, it looks close enough that I'd say it is. Looks to be more than one already. I have had far more trouble with these than with aiptasia.

Yes, pest anemone. Those are pretty but they multiply very quickly.

Thank you for the conformation! I'll take care of it before it becomes a problem.

I didn't realize that Sugar, I don't sell things or anything that site is just some information about my system. I've removed it.

Thank you,
