Paly or flower nem????

[Troylee]

This thing is about the size of a quarter... Any idea what it is a paly or a flower nem etc??? Not sure if i should wipe them out or not... They seem to spread pretty quick lol...

 

[clowns101]

Are they moving at all?

I've seen Manjano's that look like that.

Ya there in a few places... I got a rock with some sticks from a friend and these started popping up...

Don't know never tried lol...

They do kinda look like a flower anemone,however,how are they producing,split?

 

[Troylee]

Just popping up from the rock here and there...

 

[clowns101]

I would say flower anemone,but I havent ever see them produce like this before....

i have some mini bluish nems in my frag tank that came in on a caulastrea colony and they just walk around the tank, and they dont get any bigger than a nickle.
they dont bother anything but mine look more like a mini carpet
yours look like they may pack a nice sting

I'll just toss the rock... Not gonna chance it..

Are we talking flower/rock anemone? That doesn't look like it to me...a small pest anemone maybe..I think it's probably a pest-coral/palyathoa in my opinion.

 

[ladyreefer1983]

oh no dont toss it...its a rock anemone...they multiply by splitting...they are very neon green....we get that here for $7 per piece....maybe u can put in sump?they do multiply really fast...its not a pest like majanos though it can sting and move a lot.

 

[Troylee]

Lol.... Nems and sticks don't mix...

 

[Oiseau Reefer]

Oh he** just build em' a tank lol!!

 

[Myteemouse]

I agree
Nems + fuzzy sticks = calcium reactor media!

That is 100% rock flower nems, get rid of them.. they will never stop unless you get them now. I had some in my 55g, I thought they were cool when I kept a bunch of mushrooms and what not... however, when the tank shifted to the SPS tank it did, they would pop up all the time and sting stuff.... They are difficult to kill with pastes, however... you can get it to eat some poison and use a dental pick to pry the foot once it is damaged.. tiny remnants will spout new rock nems.
