TonyInVa April 17, 2018 April 17, 2018 I found this in my tank when it was much smaller and didn't know what it was. Now that it is a little bigger and could get a picture (while I was moving rocks), I was wondering what you all thought this is. It looks like it has bubble tips (like an anemone), but I wanted to get other opinions.

GraffitiSpotCorals April 17, 2018 April 17, 2018 Yea it's got small bubbles so could be. Make sure it's not a majano nem. And if it is wear eye protection if your messing with it out of water. They can shoot water farther than you would imagine when they are messed with.
flooddc April 18, 2018 April 18, 2018 Look more closer to bta than mojano. Personally, i would keep it to see if it grow. Maybe in a separate tank or make comtaimer inside a tank.
gmerek2 April 18, 2018 April 18, 2018 Mojano can be very pretty. I don’t like that it has two heads. my anemone don’t do that. Even my small ones.
Origami April 18, 2018 April 18, 2018 I'm leaning towards a small majano (and a rather ugly one at that). I'm not an expert, but I'm leaning that way because of the large oral disk with tentacles at the periphery rather than across the whole oral disk. Here are a few pictures of a baby green BTA that I had in one of my auxiliary tanks several years ago. Note the differences. When it was discovered, it was just a blob with hints of tentacles on the surface: As it grew, the tentacles became more obvious.
TonyInVa April 19, 2018 Author April 19, 2018 Here is a pic of it in the tank not under stress of being messed with. Do you all still think it is majano or bubble tip or what? I need to know whatever to remove it or keep it.

I need to know whatever to remove it or keep it. It's really looking like a BTA in that picture.Maybe just wait and see how it progresses?
TonyInVa June 21, 2018 Author June 21, 2018 I figured I would post an updated picture to see if anyone can tell what it is now that it has grown. Any ideas on what kind of anemone? Good or bad?
flooddc June 21, 2018 June 21, 2018 Wow got pretty big. If it's hosting the clownfish, IMO, it's good. Standard rose bubble tip.
TonyInVa June 21, 2018 Author June 21, 2018 Even though it is still one anemone with “2 heads”. I researched that and I found that sometimes an anemone starts to split and stops and that is how that happens. Does that sound right?
A.ocellaris June 22, 2018 June 22, 2018 What do you mean by two heads? It looks like a bubble tip anemone
madweazl June 22, 2018 June 22, 2018 Where is the second oral disc? I only see one in the last images you posted.
Origami June 22, 2018 June 22, 2018 Still looks like an anemone - likely Entacmaea quadricolor (aka E. quadricolor or Bubble-tip anemone). Nice.
