Good day everyone, hope all is well in your " Box - O - Water "

Please help me ID this little guy. It came up all of a sudden. At first I thought for sure it was some kind of zoonathid but was quite a bit bigger. It looks like a zoo, brownish orange with a center mouth......all was well for a few days then it moved. It moved 8 inches in one day. Wow I thought WTF am I loosing it. A couple more days went by and then I see another one. Im sure its some kind of an anenome but what kind and should I allow it to live in my tank. I also have 1 aptasia anenome pop up the same week. Go figure its right after I get new VHO bulbs, makes sense to me but a dormant anenome that shows up after more than a year.

Whats its name?

Jay

I don't know the name, but it's a type of anemone. You'll find that it walks around a bit if you move it to less light. I've had a couple and they haven't survived too long in my tank. I'm not sure what got them ... possibly my peppermint shrimp, as this isn't too different from apetasia. It can sting a little, but not enough to permanently put a hurt on the zoo's my were in. You may want to oust it before it decides to start having babies.

Mojano. It's mojano my friend. The pacific version of aptasia. A LFS in my area was selling 5 of those on a rock as an "Anemone rock". No kidding.

Get Joe's Juice. Feed it to the little guy and keep the bottle around there's more to come.
