Anemone ID help

[mikeintosh]

Would anyone know anything about the species of anemones that are in the photo? They were sold just as an anemone rock, but I'd like to get more info on them. Also would like to get a an idea of a fair price for them as I don't really need that many.

If there's any interest, I'm located in Los Angeles and would prefer to only sell locally... sorry.

Thank you

Mojano anemone they are just pests!!!!!

Wow, really? I always thought majanos had more bulbous tentacles. And they look so innocent and colorful...

Guess I'll start a majano tank.

Just for further confirmation, as I have been scouring the web for more info on them, I've attached a more close-up photo.

Hope its better, but they look so much different than most majanos I've seen. Thanks.

Dang... guess that didn't work. Well, if I don't get another closeup posted, I'll take your word for it and find another home for these guys.

They don't look like mojanos to me, but I don't know what they are.

They are not majanos, but they are pest anemones. I had/have some and they are very difficult to get rid of. They seem to appear in the middle of zoas and crowd them out. They also will sting corals. They seem to walk around a lot and release and drift to populate new areas. Joe's Juice doesn't work very well on them.

I would toss that rock or take it back if I were you.

Thanks. I did more digging and agree they aren't majanos. And thanks for the heads-up. I am still curious as to the species, though.

They look like miniature Epicystis crucifer, but I know they aren't.
