Hey i was pokeing around my tank with aome F*** aipstasia and i noticed this little guy. Doesnt look like aipstasia, it has green tips and maybe a foot? Clear whiteish body.

Ball nem or Majano would be my guess. . . likely a "pest" either way. . .

Yes harmless filter feeders, great addition

Ball anemones are not pests.

Nice thanks for the replys, it does seem to be a ball anemone. I will probably leave it be unless they are pests? I like diversity in the tank.

This type is perfectly safe. I have a bunch that I see at night

I would argue that anything that is not wanted and multiplies on it's own could be considered a pest. . . but plenty of people seem to like majonas. . . hence the quotes

I also had a bunch of ball nems in my nano, they were tough to see as they stuck to shaded areas but cool to see the tentacles peaking out every now and again.

Ok, is this better?
This type of ball anemone is not harmful to fish or inverts and likely not harmful to any coral unless said coral falls on top of it (it IS a mushroom after all )

So just to be sure this is a ball anemone?? I ask because i found another one! Lol hopefully good news.

When i look them up i dont see any with green tips, they glow bright like euphyllia heads.

Mine fluoresce, and green is the most common kind found in the hobby
