Hey guys im really curious as to what type of anemone this is
It came as a hitch hiker on a piece of coral and was the ONLY thing that survived when my tank crashed about 4 months ago
its really pretty and plays host to my sexy shrimp but i cant find what it is ANYWHERE

Majano, they are pests. some people like them, they can reproduce very fast and can become a problem. Very pretty but I'd get rid of it fast.

I guess it kinda looks like a majano in a way but not really
It doesnt have bubble tips and its bright green tentacles
although I guess I could be wrong it wouldnt be the first time lol

There are more then one species of anemone that are called "majano". It does look like some of the species in the same genus, Anemonia.

While I would be cautious and move it to a refugium or nano tank, I would actually keep it around and monitor it

If it decides to go "pest species", let it do that in a controlled space
