this is the tank :D
 
so your saying its one animal and it moved back to the sand bed!
That does not sound like a majano. not a mushroom either.
Could it have been blown back to the sandbed by the water current?

Yeah. Anemone of some kind definitely..I'll stick with Mojano anemone.

The crab is a Pom Pom Crab..without his mini anemone pom poms. The slug thing..iono, some kind of sea slug or naked snail. ;P
 
Definitely an easy kill. I just had to get rid of Aiptasia, boiled water and shot it through a syringe..thing turned brown and fell off right quick! If that thing is on a rock, yeah, take it out sit it in fresh water or however your preferred method of murder. ;P

Nice looking tank by the way!
 
Thnx! I'm just gonna take it n throw it out I knew it was to good to b true the tank as been running for less then a week. Is this a mushroom

Yup! That's a blue mushroom in the backdrop. Nice looking one too!

Yeah, I'd get that anemone out quick, they like to drop babies like there's no tomorrow.
 
The "snail" is a stomatella. It is a good algae eater. Blue mushroom and pom pom crab both good. Pom Pom crabs retail for ~15-20 in San Diego.
 
Yeah that is so cool you have a pom pom crab hitch hiker, although sad he has no anemones. If only you could pair up the unknown anemone with the crab.
