sarah_nick Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Hi, I'm not sure if this is a zoa or not - when it gets dark it doesn't look like my other zoas do... it disappears.... Link to comment
matty0206 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I think majano? Or at least some kind of anem. Link to comment

buckeyes2k7 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I think I have rock anemone's in my tank, they like to stretch for light, they do not seem to bother the colony of zoa's or xenia that they are located in though. Link to comment
cbort Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 better pic but it does look like a nem of somesort Link to comment
sarah_nick Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 I can't seem to get a better pic - it's right near the back and I can't get my camera to focus on it properly. It doesn't seem to be bothering anything, and looks healthy enough... so it's staying at the moment! Link to comment
jerome736 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Maybe try to move the rock up? It doesn't look like a paly based on the tentacles/skirt. Link to comment
sarah_nick Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 I've just checked out a picture of a majano and it's not one of them. I can't seem to find a pic of a rock anenome - if anyone has one please share! Link to comment

OB1 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 wha???? it does look like a paly though Aiptasia Link Aiptasia Anemones | Photos & Profile InformationAlso commonly named Tube, Glass, and Rock Anemones, here is a collection of Aiptasia species photos and profile information to help identify and learn about how to eliminate and prevent these pesky sea anemones from taking over your saltwater aquarium system Link to comment
chriz Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I have the same exact thing and mine is also a hitch hiker. It use to be a tube then it took himself away from a tube and stuck to my rock and now a little baby one is coming out from his old tube. hmmmM Link to comment
jimbro Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Aiptasia Link i think they were referring to epicystis spp., not aiptasia spp. Link to comment
dilbert Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Aiptasia never carry a greenish disk like on that photo. The disk and the brim look much like Zoa. There are maybe some anemones that people call "rock anemones", too, as the Aipstasia don't have the rights on such a generic name but they seem to be harmless. I got some similar things, too. As it is in a pico, I didn't had to panic and with the time it turned out that they look somehow like Aipstasia and behave in a similar way but never grow to the size of Aipstasia and replicate very slowly. BTW: Best spelling of Aiptasia so far: "Atipastia" among the lesser weird ones like "Aptasia", "Aipstasia", "Apstaisa", etc. Aipstasia is confusing people ... Link to comment
