Can anyone help Id this hitchhiker?
I'm thinking its a Mojano, can anyone confirm. It does retract into rock if touched .

It looks more like an aptasia to me except for the green part. Probably a majano then.

Aiptasia and Majano are both generic names we give pest anemones. Yes there are specific Aiptasia, but there are a ton of look alike, the same is true for Majano. It's safe to say that a smaller anemone type that can reproduce prolifically and has the potential to sting and damage neighboring inverts is a pest anemone and should be watched carefully.

Back when I used to walk to school in the snow, we called them glass anemones.

The image is too small for me to be sure, but I would definitely keep an eye on it.

Thank you for the fast replies.I think I will remove the rock to be safe.

I don't believe it looks like a majano - the majano I've seen have stubbier tentacles
