strawberry anemone's... Good or Bad?

[Jennifer_luna]

I think I might have a few very small strawberry anemone's growing on some of my rock in my aquarium. Are they good or are they bad... If they are bad how do I get rid of them naturally without using chemicals

Can you post a pick?

I will try and take one when i get home, but they are so small and in a akward area. but i will try and post it tonight

I've never heard of one until now, so I did some research on it. I'd have a feeling it might be aiptasia rather than a strawberry nem, but can't ID it without a picture.

I heard strawberry anemones are pretty harmless since they barely get an inch wide. They usually have pink/red feet and white-tipped tentacles and hide in darker parts of the tank.

Hopefully it's not aiptasia or majano. Only way to get rid of aiptasia and majano naturally is with a creature that eats it such as peppermint shrimp, filefish, and certain butterflies, and it's not a guarantee it'll eat the anemone.

So here is a picture of what ever the hell is growing in my tank... I did some research and it looks like a strawberry anenomy. The picture is kinda blurry and not that great cause i took it with my phone but the color is more deep and the tentacles are clear with white palls on the ends.

Any ideas what this is?

Looks more like small condys. Strawberries are very red.

 

[Jennifer_luna]

Are they bad?

Condy's are not bad. They are just normal nems.

Did you ever find out what these really were? I have the same growing in my tank!

I think they might be corynactis (ball tip anemone). Look them up.
