Someone told me that it may be a majano. Please see pics attached, as I googled it, but couldn't tell from the pics that came up on the results. Thank you very much.

It came on the rock. The member I got the rock from said he's pretty sure it's a bubble tip, but couldn't be certain without seeing it. I don't think he has any problems with majano in his tank. I just want to be certain. Thanks.

It's a majano. :snipersm: Kill it! Never heard of anyone getting a bubbletip as a hitchhiker. If you want to leave it than eventually you'll have alot more than you will like. Try injecting it with a thick kalk paste or get some Joes Juice that everyone seems to love (it's the same stuff).

Sure looks like a bubble tit to me. We have a small one just like it we got from another member. These little guy's stay very small, 2-3" at most, and split prety fast if well fed

Ordinarily I would say majano as "typically" majano looks like a baby bubbletip ("BTA"). But in this case, I'm not so sure.

One of my rose BTA's was purchased as - no word of a lie - 1/4" from Red Coral Aquariums about a year ago. It was smaller than some of the majano's I had in my big tank. I fed it mysis and it eventually grew into a couple inches across.

The reason I suspect BTA in this case - the bubbles are way bigger than any of the majano's I've had (and I've had a lot of that pest anemone), plus the colour of the base just looks .. a little too nice. The majano's I ever seen have been brown, brown, brown. I see a hint of burgundy/pink in the base.

If it were me, I'd be tempted to leave it.
