What are these? ID

Bought some coral today what is this on it? bubble algae maybe ? The top right little things not the zoos.

Could be a majano anemone, but the bubble ends are different. I would let it go until you figure it out. It could be a good freebie.

Majano, pest anemone. Inject it with kalk paste or one of the commercially available aiptasia killing products.

Majanos have bubble tips?

Scizzle · 04/06/2012, 05:28 PM

Well good enough for me I went ahead and killed it. Thx

That's unfortunate. A perfectly fine happy Entacmaea quadricolor was killed.

See thats what I thought it was. Never seen a majano with bubble tips

Scizzle · 04/06/2012, 05:42 PM

I figured it might be a bubble tip but either way I didn't want it. No anemones in my tank.

You could have give it to the LFS or a local reefer instead of just killing it. We are in this hobby because we love the animals we keep. I hope you will be a little more sensitive to their lives down the road. Different story for pest.

Ohiomom · 04/06/2012, 06:00 PM

Lol my comment was taken in context remember I killed it before I wrote the comment. Had I truly known I certainly would have kept it. I would have sold it to my LFS definitely. After two comments suggesting pest I killed it.

Scizzle · 04/06/2012, 06:16 PM

I just saw that picture you posted. It was definitely a Majano it wasn't a bubble tip. My picture makes it look like a bubble tip but I examined it pretty close out of water.

2Addicted · 04/06/2012, 06:23 PM

I agree with Adrienne, it was a mojano. Mojanos can have bubble tips.

NirvanaFan · 04/06/2012, 07:42 PM

It was certainly a majano.

correctamundo · 04/06/2012, 07:58 PM

looks like majano, some appear to have 'bubble' tips
