What kind of anemone is this?

Bryce5 · 04/15/2018, 11:54 AM

This anemone (I believe it’s an anemone) just popped up in my tank. It’s growing like crazy! I’m not sure what kind it is!? Could someone possibly distinguish what it is.

Thanks

it's macro algae, maybe eed nemastoma.
the only anemones that i know will grow rapidly are aiptaisa and majano lol.

Yeah with a quick google search it definitely might be nemastoma algae!
Cool thanks for the help!
