Please help identify this

[Kostas]

So I bought this small piece of live rock from someone on this site a week or so ago for the red mushrooms and polyps on it…when I we went to pick it up I was told a frogspawn moved onto it (now I have a green frog spawn that doesn’t quite look like this guy)…and now after a week or so he has moved a little around the piece or rock, and now split into too guys!

So is it a frog spawn? Any ideas?? Is it good or bad???????????



This is when i frist got it

You may be a bit quick with the congrats. Looking at the size of it I would say more likely a majano anemone which look just like bubbletips but don't get much bigger then a nickel and can take over a tank... just like aiptasias

It looks just like my bubble tip. :mrgreen:

I agree - looks like a majanos. Kill ASAP.

At first I thought BTAs because they look big but now I'm not sure, the face isn't quite right. Big majanos I guess.

now i have a 30g tank with 50lbs of live rock coverd in majanoes...and they are very small size of a dime to nickle....and they move to the top of the live rock and tank up a lot of space - also look nothing like the one i was giving on that small rock.

this one is bigger then a tonnie

the guy that i got it from had five big ones in his tank...all this majanoe talk has we worried now thou haha

[Keri]

How big were the ones in his tank? twoonie sized or bigger?

[slakker]

My vote is Mojano... Joe's Juice it ASAP... even if it's not, not wrth the risk since you never paid for it to begin with...

the five he has were all the same size...like mine he even had one in a container in the tank for some other guy that was coming by to pick it up.

he told me they always move around his tank..to find a spot they are happy in.

i told him it didn't look like my frogspawn but he told me it was from the same family -

note : i got it from a great guy that had two beautiful reef tanks stocked full of beautiful things, being new to reef keeping i trusted it him, i don't think he would have sold me an majanoe if he knew it was one.

...well i did pay five bucks more for it since it moved on the rock i came to pick up and buy -since it made its way on to it, but i don't care about the money.

now can manjaoes get this big? how come the ones i have in my 30g are very small, they are side by side and just cover the live rock, but i got a cooperband eatting them now (but that is a whole another story)

[Keri]

I've never seen them bigger than a nickel - I've seen some big aptasia, but not mojano, but maybe someone will chime in if they have

[TJSlayer]

I don't think it a majanoe.....

Mot sure about a bubble tip either because they get much bigger....

[justinl]

i vote majano. Don't bubble tips have to be quite a lot bigger than that to split?

I'm on the fence. Yours looks just like my GBTA's but they also look a lot like the picture in the link that marie posted. Can you keep them isolated on a rock until your sure?
