Aptasia or anemone clones?

[Chicken_Biscuit]

So I spotted these little anemone looking critters behind my torches and can’t tell if it’s aptasia or if my anemone decided to poop clones of itself.
I’ve attached photos of it.

Definitely not Aiptasia.

Definitely not Aiptasia.

That’s what I was thinking but wanted to make sure. New to the hobby and my peppermint shrimp always assassinate aptasia.

Maybe Majano ?

Look just like them. Would the torches sting and kill them or do I have to get in there with chemicals?

this is why I thought it would be an anenome clone from my long tentacle cause he’s massive, bigger than my torch colony.

I mean could be clones im no expert. If you havent added anything to your tank then maybe its just clones. Keep a eye on them and see what they do.

Hello! Unfortunately those are majanos, which will need to be removed chemically. Kalkwasser paste usually works well for me.

Also FYI, long tentacle anemone do not split or reproduce asexually to the best of my knowledge.

Yeah I did some research and saw people using that kalkwasser, just intimidated cause I don’t wanna mess up my water parameters.

Majano. They're not good to have.

If you turn off the flow and use a syringe to gently apply it directly on top of the majano, you can suck it up with a turkey baster after about 15 minutes.

I’ll give it a try. Thanks everyone for the help!
