BigWyll May 6, 2011 Share May 6, 2011 My mother found this on my LR. I don't think it is aptasia because it is more circular. I have found different pictures of majano online. But most are green and this is brown. Pictures were taken with my ipad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extreme_tooth_decay May 6, 2011 Share May 6, 2011 Can't tell anything from those pics...but it appears to be the color of aiptasia. I would not discount aiptasia due to it being circular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind May 6, 2011 Share May 6, 2011 I can't tell anything from the pics other then a nice purple rock but I always remove both majano and aiptasia from my tank when I find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWyll May 15, 2011 Author Share May 15, 2011 Here are some clearer pictures. Afeter I added more light I also found an small jelly fish like insect that crawls along sides of my refugium. I say jelly fish like because it looks like a clear bubble with a tail. but slides along the glass. Having the worst time getting a picture of this thing.

emissary May 15, 2011 Share May 15, 2011 Looks like a button polyp to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad May 15, 2011 Share May 15, 2011 I agree, button polyp, depending on the goals that you have for your system, I would still consider removing it. Your description sounds like a flatworm (the type that tends to ebb and tide and sometimes vanish completely). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind May 15, 2011 Share May 15, 2011 I'll third that, it looks like a button polyp. It does sound like a clear flatworm. The clear ones seem to be harmless and really don't seem to last long in the home reef from my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWyll May 21, 2011 Author Share May 21, 2011 Got the clear jelly looking thing on video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanglandJoshua May 21, 2011 Share May 21, 2011 Ive seen that in my tank before too(before a major crash so no doubt it died). I had no clue what it was, and my phone couldn't even get a picture that clear. So I look forward to seeing the results from the "reef intellectuals".
