Aiptasia??

[corsicoreef]

Hi,
I found this polyp in one random rock.
It has tentacles but can't capture it in the photo.
Aiptasia?

Thanks

It doesn’t look like Aiptasia right from an early stage Aiptasia has defined tentacles these look too close together for Aiptasia

Does not look like aiptasia. Maybe some type of ball anemone.

I could be wrong but it looks like Majono to me.

It looks pretty even if it may be a pest nem

It's very beautiful looking in the dark. Translucent and pinkish color with the bright tips.

Google ball anemone maybe that’s it ?

Yeah, however the color??
Searching in other forums, seen mentions to "Corynactis", "PseudoCorynactis", Strawberry nems" and balls nems..

 

[DJC]

Yea was just cross referencing your pic to strawberry ball and it looks very similar

 

[corsicoreef]

Well it's spreading, so I'm worried.
Will try to get better pictures.
Thank y'all

This is not a majano, it is a ball anemone. Note the characteristic balls on the tips of the tentacles.

These do look like ball anemones!

 

[corsicoreef]

Nuisance?
How easy they will spread all over?

 

[T€rm]

In my experience with them , they usually just disappear over time!
There not a nuisance like aptasia or majano are!

Either ball anemone (actually a mushroom/corallimorph) or hidden cup coral. Is this ocean live rock?

 

[corsicoreef]

I bought the tank from another aquarist one year ago.
It's live rock but I don't know the precedence.
