Help identifying
Hello!
Newbie here, to the site and the saltwater hobby. I had a very pleasent hitchhiker when I got my last batch of live rock. I definitely wanted an anemone but knew I had to wait for a while for my tank to mature. Since then (about 2 months) it's been doing fine. Moved around a few times. Settled on a spot it's liked. I've fed it shrimp and it's doubled in size since I've gotten it and it's starting to show its bubbles a little bit more. But.. I've tried to get help IDing it and I've had a lot of mixed reviews. The store I got it from is certain it's a baby bubble tip. Everyone else I've talked to has said it's probably a majano and that it won't grow much bigger and I should consider removing it. I decided to try a proper forum to see if I. And get any other opinions. If it turns out to be majano, that's fine.. but I'm just really curious. |

A very bleached anemone, maybe a bta, need better pictures.

It is most likely be a bleached majano.
Its not common to find BTAs that small, not to say its impossible, but not likely. Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk |

Hmmmm.... It's bleached which makes it more difficult to identify. Can't tell from the pictures, but does it have any rings around it (on its tentacles)? If so, it's a Majano. If not, it's possibly a small rock anemone or MAYBE a BTA. Better pictures would help us nail it down for sure

I've been trying for days. Haha it either moves farther into the tank or I can't get a good focus. I'm still tying though.

Yah, it's a lot harder to get a clear shot than I thought. These are the only halfway decent ones I've gotten and they're still pretty bad. Sorry guys. Thanks for all the input though. I didn't realize there was a rock anemone.
