Snakelock Anemone's anyone heard of them

[racrumrine]

Those look a lot like a hitchhicker anemone I received on some live rock. The people I consulted called them a type of majano. You might want to do some research on them. You should also look a thread on Tulip anemones. Personally, from reviewing the posted pictures, I think a Tulip anemone is a prettier version of a majano.

Mine were similar in size and color; but, sometimes have bubble tips. The way they reproduce is they get to about the size of dime and then split into 2 smaller ones.

While they reproduce fairly frequently, I think they are fairly easy to control. Unlike aiptasia, they don't reproduce from a single remaining speck. Thus, you can either knock them off, or I use the broken end of a chopstick and twirl. As far as I know, nothing eats them.

Best of luck,

Roy

Hi Roy, I have the little tulip anemones and they have more rows of tenticles but are cute to. I have had another move to the sand down in front, silly things, will put it up on the rock tonight so that it will stay put, they are like they are all going on a vacation, taking a look around to see where the best place to be is. Nothing but zoos in the tank, and some polps so since there are zoos on the rock and they arent bothered by them, I will just let them wander around. They are in a 20 long with nothing to hurt so will have fun just watching them do there thing. They really are cute. What color are yours?
I have a green majano and they do look a bit like it, but my majano only has one row of tenticles, these little fellows have several rows. So I think we are all at a loss as to what exactly they are.
Thanks for posting

Update and need info

Update and need info

Updateing this thread as I have had someone ask me about selling some. Since I am unsure as to what they are I want to ask again and also post new pictures since the originals are gone from the thread.
They have multiplied but as you see by the original date this thread was started, not near as fast as zoos or mojanos.
I have about 20 new ones from the time this thread was started.

They have elongated mouths and eat silversides.
The last picture shows them just finishing up mysis shrimp.
Some are as large as a quarter or bigger as seen in the pictures. When the young fall off they are dime size and brown, turning to green as they get older.
They multiply by dropping off of the mother colony and attaching to rock or sand.
I then started putting rock around the mother colony where the young could attach to. I have two colonys of them now plus many singles around the tank.
Anyone have any new ideas on there id?

Eating pieces of silverside, they close up around them like anemones do.
