Is this Majano Anemone?

[Fish Ed]

I'm still pretty new to reef keeping and while doing some researching I came across a thread talking about how "nasty" majano anemone is. Then I took a second to realize have I been nurturing a "demon"? When I was starting my tank I specifically picked out a live rock with what I thought was a bubbletip anemone attached to it. It was a really small, barely 1/2". And I fed it about 4 times a week with mysis shrimp marinated in algae tab soup. It split to 2 and now about to split again. It has never harmed any corals or fish. I really do not want to kill them, it's so beautiful.


Mother anemone starting to split again. About 1 1/2".



Splitted 2 months ago about 1"

It kind of looks like majano

A majano for sure.

Aw damn... What options do I have other than killing it? Is keeping it in the main tank possible?

Oh I found another one which is really small, about 1mm. I used a syringe and kept blowing water at it until it fell of and get sucked up by the syringe. It's now in a test tube with a rubble. It attached itself to it. I'm just wondering, is it anyway possible to keep it in that test tube with a led light right above it. Feeding it once a week and changing the water after that?

Majano is something of a 'catch all' for a lot of different small anemones. While your photo is not all that similar to the 'majano' anemone problems I have had in the past, the fact that it is splitting with frequency suggests it could become a problem. I would remove them!
