It almost looks like majano, but it's the wrong color.

The majano I've had/seen look like little Green BTA.

ou i think you two hit it on the head, i found a pic of the exact same looking anemone on another site, and it's definately an Anemonia Anemone which is the manjo speicies or something. i dunno how it's classified, but yah, definately a manjo.
here's the link if anyone is interested, they have lots of pics of pretty anemones that are actually bad for your tank! not bad, but pests. not as bad as aptasia though! woohoo!

I JUST heard about the Majano Anemone yesterday, and from what I was told they are worse than aiptasia... spread faster, harder to kill, and stronger sting.... maybe my source has his head somewher it shouldn't be though... If you know what I mean!!! hehehe

I wouldn't count them out right away... the one in the pic doesn't look like the one that I saw. How big is it?

Just in regards to majano annemones:

I have had several in my tank, and still have one that I've had since I set-up the tank, he likes to move around. Another one just showed up near it a few days ago(big one, so its been moving around). They have been all over the place in my tank and havent done any damage to any of my corals, and Joe's Juice kills them with one tiny shot of it.....wherease I've only ever killed one aiptasia with Joe's Juice and I've tried at least a dozen.

Im just leaving the majanos in there.....they look funny and have yet to cause problems.

there are soooooo many different variations of those anemones. if you click on the link i posted a while back it shows the pic in the top right corner, and it looks exact same as the one in my friends tank. my understanding is that they can be harmful to a stupid fish who gets up close to it. really bad sting.
