Mojano?

[Leedowlrods]

Is this a nasty thing or can I let it stay, it's been thriving in my system for 8 months and my anemone crab resides in it

It's hard to get a sense of scale from your picture. How big is it? It doesn't really look like a majano. Majanos have bubble tipped tentacles. Looks more like you have lucked into a nice anemone.

 

[Leedowlrods]

Fingers for scale, it does a lot of moving if I alter the aquascape.

 

[Sniperhank]

Too many tentacles for a Majano. Def isn't one imo.

 

[MINItron]

I agree with Sniper. Too many tentacles and too big for a majano. The reason it moves around when you redecorate is it has to find its new happy place.

I think you have lucked into a good nem. Will be interesting to see what it grows in to.

 

[Leedowlrods]

After feeding it, for a couple of days, it has now split !!
I only found out today when I introduced my new bubble tip

 

[MINItron]

That's not a good sign if it is splitting at such a small size. It may have fooled us all, and actually be a majano.

 

[Sniperhank]

Still doesn't look like a Majano.

How old is your tank? If you don't have a mature tank and have some parameters swinging, that could be why it split

 

[Leedowlrods]

My set up is 10 months old, the thing in question is prob about the size of a golf ball.
Thanks

This is also a majano anemone. They come in all sorts of different morphs.

 

[Sniperhank]

That's too bad. Never seen one that looked like it before. Guess thats why you hear rumors of people keeping them in a species tank.

 

[MINItron]

Looks like it would be a good candidate for a nano reef of its own. It is really kind of pretty.

 

[Leedowlrods]

Ok so it's now confirmed as a majano,
After splitting I now have two golf ball sizes ones in my 10g.
Shall I leave them alone?
One is host to my porcelain crab

 

[MINItron]

I'm surprised that the porcelain is hosting in it. Curiouser and curiouser.

 

[Leedowlrods]

Ill try for a photo later

 

[Leedowlrods]

Update.
I've got 3 now !

 

[Gregcoyote]

Most I've seen are green, but they are a real pest and should be removed before it gets out of control.

 

[Leedowlrods]

Update: I've up graded from a 50 to a 190 bow front, and these things are loving it




Sorry for the blues

I had some that were green with red tips. Pretty nice, but they sure do multiply quickly. I would nix them. Get a bubble tip for the anemone crab. At least you can sell them when they split.
