    so i picked up a very nice LR piece for a deal w/3 hairy mushrooms i think and one or two regular mushrooms

    but i didn't notice till i got it home it has a hitchhicker

    at first i thought it was aptasia till it opened up and started moving around

    what is this an anemone and if so good/bad

    if bad how do i get rid of it ? if i grab this guy will it spread in the tank?

    Mojanos are bad too from what I gather. Never had one though (knocking on wood).

    Most majano are more green and have rounded tips. Kalk it.
