I would say majano or aiptaisia...looks like a "pest" variety of anemone to me.

almost looks like a majano doesn't it? I have some thing very similar that I JUST found in my tank. I'll try to get pics of it tomarrow.

The base looks too thick to be aiptaisia (sp) to me and I haven't had Majano yet so I really can't comment there. Of coarse I didn't have Air for more then 2 days once the Peps were added }:c).

Search Google Images for Telmatactis sp. anemone and see if they look like what you have. We have a couple of 'em in our 75g reef that came in as hitchhikers, no idea exactly where we got 'em. Some are supposed to pack quite a wallop so I wouldn't touch it with bare skin just in case.

Here are two pictures of one of the ones in our tank. The one that is colored like in your picture is in the back of the tank in the liverock, I can hardly see it let alone get pictures short of pulling the tank apart.

Thanks RedSonja...beautiful hair if I might add (assuming that is you in the pic).

Here is a link. Thanks for the help. Do you feed yours at all?

It appears to be a Telmatactis cricoides.

Thank you and yes, that's me.

I suspected your hitch-hiker was T. cricoides, I'm pretty sure after hours of digging around on Google Images that is what ours are as well. Some of them look to be quite pretty, bright pinks and blues. Too bad ours are just browny-orange and brownish-white. They are different though, and I'm willing to let ours stay as long as they don't cause problems. One page I read called them "Dinner Plate anemone" because they can get that large, but that is in their native temperate waters. I'm hoping being in tropical temps will keep them from taking over our 75g tank.

No, we don't feed ours but they have strategically placed themselves in the rockwork so that they get flake food that the fish miss. I had to pull the rocks apart to get the above picture of the one, it is usually so far back that you can barely see it. I was determined to find out what it was though!
