Start with listing all your parameters.

Second, what's changed recently in your tank? Lighting? Or anything you can think of?

Bingo. And none of this "everything is within range" business.

How old is your tank? Describe how your cycle went, etc. How big is the tank? What livestock do you have in it? What equipment are you running on it? Are you dosing anything? How often do you do water changes? Where do you get your water?

Without solid info, it's really hard to help. There are a LOT of things that can go wrong.

[Rigo07]

I have like 5 I don't know If there anenome cuz they don't grow

 

[FinsUp]

looks like majanos

 

[SynDen]

ya they look like fairly large majanos

 

[Aaron]

That's a Mojano anemone. They are pests just like aptasia. Injecting them with lemon juice with a needle syringe is one way to get rid of them.

 

[Rigo07]

Are they bad

 

[SynDen]

ya they pretty bad, they multiply rapidly and will kill off any coral near them

 

[SynDen]

You can kill them multiple ways. one is with lemon juice, another is with kalk paste or my favorite is superglue
