Polyp?

[capthutch]

Discovered this guy after two days in the tank from my new live rock looks like a polyp but I'm asking the experts.

Are you taking about the circle on the right? It looks like a paly or a zoa of some kind.

In the middle of the pict is deffinately a Majano. KILL IT!!!! They will spread all over your new tank. How is the Candy Cane and Monti?

Edit: Blue Planet has Aptasia X. It will take care of it.

Doing well! It looks similar to Majano but it has a good bit of color to the center. I know you can't see it that well in the pic. I figured I would let it live at least until I get home from the station Wednesday morning so that I might can ID it better and the tank will be clear then to. Had an avalanche last night!

But...do the Majanos have bulb tips?

Edit: And thanks for the help yesterday Nick! I appreciate it

Edit: It has doubled in size in two days. It was straight yesterday and opened up today!

 

[nickg]

yes they do have a bubble looking tip.

It's a bad pic Curtis. I was hoping I had me something "good"! Least I know I can grow a bumper crop of Majano!

Yea they would be kinda cool if they didnt take over and kill everything!

Yeah, I would definitely kill that! Red Sea Aptasia X worked great for me especially after I learned to move slow from upstream and very slowly allow some to come out of the needle and drift towards it. They kinda latched on to the needle and I was able to cover their mouths with it aka no planula release. In a couple minutes they melt away.

Had some smaller ones too but my peppermint shrimp ate em right up in a few days before I got them! Sweet!
