Please help id

It's about the size of a nickel and it's attached under a large rock filled with gsp. It gets little light in its current location and kinda looks like a bta. But I'm not sure.

Unless you have had a BTA in your tank, I'm calling majano anemone. Majanos are pest anemones - not to the level of aiptasia, but they can and will spread and take over a tank if neglected.

I'm gonna say Kevin has a ton of experience and may be right, but my guess is it's not a majano, but something else. I'm tending towards the bubble tip analysis. Keep it alive for the next several months and we'll have an answer, and I for one would pay good money to know the real answer!

Wow.. I.wanna know too! It sure looks like a gbta

 

[Chief Hill]

Well I Googled mojano and I'm having a hard time finding one that looks like this. Even if this is bleached.
I'll let it grow and see what it grows up to look like. I'll post more pics to help id as it grows.

I was thinking BTA.

Looks like a gbta to me, as well. While not very common, it's not entirely impossible either for a small juvie to come in unnoticed on a frag rock.

I can't help you with what it is, but it looks a lot like with what this guy is asking about.

That is a BTA, I can see the foot. Did you buy the large rock filled with gsp? If so it was a hitchhiker.

 

[Chief Hill]

There are a couple more pics to show the rock of gsp its on.
And another of its foot if it helps.

Yes I bought the gsp as an entire colony on the rock.
This anenomy only appeared a couple weeks ago.

Confirmed BTA from the person I got the GSP from. He has a bunch in his tank as well.
Thanks for all that helped.
