Can anyone Identify

I found this mystery Anenome in my tank. I was able to move it to a single branch. It has a green body and tan tenticles.


Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Bill

Hmmm... tough to tell from the pic, my first guess would be majano (bad).

Thanks Boomer!

These animals are named "stinging sea anemones" due to their capacity to sting humans badly.
Yikes!

Those anemones look very similar to a soft coral. Very tricky! I bet my goby would try to perch on it and get eaten!

Cool looking anemone. I guess I'll have to cross that one off my list until I get the long gloves and a species tank

Re: Can anyone Identify

My LFS had a large one in the display tank, they're very beautiful almost look like a Colt coral and have a very potent sting.

Re: Can anyone Identify

Great ID. I have never come across those before. I guess this came in as a hitchhiker?

Re: Can anyone Identify

They are very difficult to rasie. Do not attempt to touch one they will hurt you They also get very large. A friend of mine years ago had a huge one. They are also called Branching Anemone.
