Green Aptasia?

Could just be from the blue lights...Does look like an anemone of some sorts but I hesistate to go with aiptasia considering their growth pattern and lack of a pronounced column

mahajons. theyre pretty much aiptasia, reproduce fast and sting coral.

@ot7 I think you mean majanos. Either way it's not that which have stubbier tentacles concentric rings. @reefertank do you think you could get a pic without the blue lights?

Ah sorry bilingual problems. Oh I was basing it off this thread https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/tiny-vietnamese-anemone-something-different.75808/ thought it was a majano morph

Ah no problem. Either way, that anemone in the other post isn't a majano either. Lot's of the stuff that we get on live rock from Indo-Pacific areas haven't been discovered yet since they're not heavily studied (everyone only wants to study coral and fish there). It's not like Caribbean LR which has stuff that can be IDed with a guide. Wild guess but from my experience with IDing corals and anemones worldwide I want to say that these are in the genus Phymanthus given their growth form over the rock structure and tentacle arrangement, but I could be way off
