Anyone know what this is?

Found this growing under the ledge of a rock a couple days ago it seems to be growing fairly fast these are the best pics I could get. Its about the size of a skittle. To the eye it looks almost entirely transparent with some green translucence and almost glowing white tips. Good Bad or Benign?

I used three kinds of light to try and get a good pic, regular flash, green LED and Blue LED.

Yeah I think your right. I looked up majano anemone. Found several pics that look just like it. Sounds like they are very similar to aptasia and treated in the same ways.

thanks!

I believe it's a ball anemone. Not good but normal.

 

[Walter White]

I identified it in one of my books it a ball corallimorph (Pseudocorynactis). My book says it's related mushroom family. Does not say it's harmful and that some colors such as red a rare.

I had tons of them in a previous tank and never had a single issue, i would even feed them.

 

[Walter White]

Yeah I read allot about them sounds like they can be really beautiful just need to keep an eye on them and make sure they don't get to close to adjacent corals. Ill just leave it alone for now. Thanks everyone!

Glad I looked this up...after a google search, I found some threads elsewhere that the consensus was "ball anemone". Whew! I was really worried I had majano's. Kris, have these multiplied in your tank? I have 5 of them that we just noticed in the last month.

 

[Walter White]

No the one I had never multiplied, it eventually just died, was eaten or something because it's gone now.

They can move, and dont like the light.
