    Googled it...its doesnt really have the stalk and tentacles that those appear to have...but i guess its a possibility...its body shape is actually more like that of what I saw was a cup coral...but i couldnt find any of this color

    either way i would seperate that from your nice zoas. frag whats left around it and keep the mojano/ricordia/cup coral thing on its own and let it grow.

    doesnt look like a majeno to me. Not sure what it is though. It is very unique.
