Majano Anemone? - Aquarium Advice

I know the pictures are very bad but it was the best I could with with my camera since they are so small. It looks like a single green stem with a clear polyp coming out of the green. It doesnt have the stock base like the picture on Xtalreef I'm thinking maybe it is the start of one. If they were orange I would think it was dendrophyllia. Thanks.

It's a macro commonly referred to as caterpillar weed. Nothing to worry about at all. HTH

Hi Cmor. No, I stepped down (or took a step back) to take a break a few months ago.

Cindy is of course correct.. I think.. I've only heard of it by the name of Neomeris annulata It requires a fairly high flow. It is calcium based as well. for more info.

I guess that explains why when I squirted one of them with Joes Juice while I was getting rid of some aiptasia, nothing happened. Thanks.
