Hey I found this hiding behind a rock the other day. Doesn't look like aptasia.
Anybody have any ideas what this might be?

I'm looking up Majano and they look alot like small gbta in some of the pics.
I was sold a GBTA well overe a year ago and since ive had it, it has never grown bigger then a toonie before it split into 2 or 3. I have had at least 40 of them.
Is it possible these are Majano and not GBTA?
The first pic here has the nem on the side that i posted the last pic of.
It looks different from the other ones.

They do look like GBTA's. They pretty much have a mind of their own, some grow big, some stay small, some like to get stuck in powerheads... I have one that I got from another reefer who had it for about 6 months and it was golf ball size, 2 weeks in my tank and it got to softball size. No idea why.

The second two pictures look like they should be gbta's.

So the white looking one in the first pic is probably a majano and I should get rid of it?

Yes. Majanos are pests. The last ones are definitely GBTA's
