Acoustic Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 It is a pest anenome. Either a aiptasia or majano. Link to comment
HawaiianNano Posted August 21, 2003 Author Share Posted August 21, 2003 wow that one huge aiptasia!! can they get that big this is about 2 inches Link to comment
SaltyDawg Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 It actualy looks like a curly cue anenome to me? Does it have a tall stalk base? Link to comment
HawaiianNano Posted August 22, 2003 Author Share Posted August 22, 2003 The base is dark brown like skin and wrinkly. the tentacles are clrear and at the tip they have a little ball sorry the pic isnt clear. Its seem to prefer low light. Link to comment
Vandur Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 I have had something similar to that in my tank for over a year now.. It has managed to survive a heat wave (faulty heater) and my 20 high leaking. I see it about.. Once every two months. If someone can ID it I would love to know what it is.. It looks.. Creapy. Just a note on it: Mine tends to be fairly compact against the rock when I see it, though right after I put all of the LR in it's new 20L, I saw it "stretching" to almost 1.5". Err: And mine is definately not aptasia.. I have had enough of those to know what they look like.. hehe. ~V Link to comment
SaltyDawg Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 well then that would lead me to beleive it is a majano pest anenome you need to get rid of. Link to comment
