Pet Forum / Aquaria / Marine Reef / July 2004anemone good or bad
I've just had a delivery of new corals for my tank. it wasn't until I had the yellow polyps in place and opened that I noticed an alien in our midst. there on the edge was a small 20mm wide anemone. it's not astipsia as I've had to deal with them before but I'm worried that it might be a pest one that marc levenson told us about. the photo and description are of a green tipped anemone but mine is a solid brown colour and does seem to have slightly bulbous tentacles like his description. has anyone else fell in with a pest anemone like this before and how did you eradicate it. Robin It's difficult to say w/o a picture. But it could be a mojano anemone. I purposely put these in my FOWLR tank. Because they are cool looking & can't do any harm in a FO tank.Do a search on mojanos.

Thanks, Cindy Fish Only With Live Rock GrimReaper Most likely you are dealing with a "colony" anomone. I had one of these, thought is was a baby BTA but it multiplied (not as fast as aptasia but enough to be a pest). I would get rid of it as soon as possible. After I had a ton of these these they were difficult ot get rid of.
