Please ID this hitch hiker?

Bought some flordia rock at 2.00 a pd and this was on one when I got it home.. Please ID, I believe is it some type of Zoo. I hope anyway.

 

Looks like a Mojano Anemone. Basically like a colored Aiptasia.


These spread like Aiptasia and will sting corals. Either treat it as an Aiptasia or put it in a tank all by itself.

 

Doesn't look like a majano to me. Majanos tend to have a green disk with brownish tentacles.

 

Majano #1



Majano #2



Majano #3





Obviously not all "tend to have a green disk with brownish tentacles."

 

Agreed but look at the shape of the tentacles in the first picture. They come to a point and majanos usually have a bubble or blunt-ish tip. You may also notice that the tentacles in the majano are in several rows, some close to the mouth of the anemone but the first pic shows an anemone with what appears to be one row of tentacles which are only around the rim of the animal. Could be a lighting/picture issue though

 

I will try to get a better picture of it tonight and post it. I dont think it is an majano more of a zoo look to it.

 

If it is Fla rock I'll bet it is a zoo I have 3 colonies that came on Fla rock

 

That is a rock anemone. They will sting like any other anemone but they won't spread like aiptasia or manjos. I have one in my tank and I bought mine. It isn't the greatest find but it sure is nice. You can feed it mysis shrimp or chopped fish. I also feed mine flake when I'm being lazy. It should close up quickly when you feed it or touch it.

 

somethingfishy, Will it multiply in time or will it just get bigger and if only bigger how much?

It is a pretty cool (freebie) I might add. I hope is multiplies though.

 

Both it will get bigger probably around 4in and will also split to make babies
