Aptasia or manjano

[topdogreefer]

I bought a new tank about a month ago and it was riddled with these guys who I assumed to be aptasia. I removed most of them by simply not reusing rock with lots of them but I still have plenty in the tank.

I purchased some berghia about 2 weeks ago but I haven't noticed any results.

Are these actually manjano anemones?

Aiptasia.. manjo are green and will light up.

Yeah, no. These are majanos. I have the same ones.

This is a manjo… either way they both suck and need to be killed lol..

There are multiple colors of majano. You have two types in your picture, for example. OP's anemone is the same as the one at the bottom of your picture, just under slightly different lighting. I have around 100 of them, along with 4 other kinds.

Here's a thread I made, actually. They're very invasive, but I love them anyway.

I would also lean towards majano - I would expect the polyps to have quite a bit less 'girth' if it was aiptasia - though the color is that of the common glass aiptasia I am fighting in my own tank so I am not 100%
