[Reef Jockey]

can anyone ID this hitchhiker?

sorry if the picture isn't that good. just using my iphone

 

[Reef Jockey]

kinda worried if it's good or bad

My first guess is that it’s a majano nem but clearer pics would confirm.

Agree, looks like majano

 

[Reef Jockey]

is this pic better?

 

[Reef Jockey]

could it be a juvenile rock flower anenome?

 

[Sharkbait19]

Still thinking majano…

 

[Reef Jockey]

came across this video from Tidal gardens about Rock Flower Anenomes and snipped a pic of an offspring

any similarities?

I agree. At the last pic I think it’s a rfa. It was hard to tell in the first one.

thanks for the input.. Hope it gets to grow out..

Maybe this why its neighbors closed up? Any way to bust a chunk off and separate. Maybe hit it with flow so it moves.

Its a majano and some people keep them due to nice colors but I dont because it is similar to aptasia in the form of pest.
Inject via syringe with either lemon juice or better yet kalkwasser powder mixed with tank water into a paste the consistency of toothpaste into the center core and it will melt away.

What happened in the end? Is it bigger? is it dead?

 

[TnFishwater98]

You’ll know very quickly if it reproduces fast. I’ve never had a majano but that’s the problem right? It’s invasive...

 

[Reef Jockey]

i think it's about the same size and haven't grown. I don't see any other offsprings either.
Was hoping to see it grow out a little to see if it develops into something more concrete but, still waiting.
The RPEs next to it seem just fine
I'll have new pictures soon.

 

[Reef Jockey]

tried getting a better picture.

Looks somewhat the same. I'll try getting a better picture
