lancecobb1 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I was looking at the bottom of a rock in the back corner and i saw this little thingy hanging out on the rock. Does anyone know what it is? it looks like some kind of anemone with little white balls on the ends?? Thanks for the help Lance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael7979 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I have heard 'strawberry anemone', 'cornitactis (sp.) anemone' google those and see if they match up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 That's what I was thinking.......... wondering if I remember the name right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_biker Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 agreed, i think that it is what is called a strawberry anemone. arent they a relative of majano anemones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I have had some in the past and they never became a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancecobb1 Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 I guess ill keep an eye on it, because it is way in the back and on the bottom of all my rocks so i hope it is ok and does not spread! Thanks Lance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Mine all grew in the sump and on the bottom side of rocks. Never saw any in direct tank lighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 They are non-photosynthetic, they need to feed and do not care about the light. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Reef Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 It's a Strawberry Anemone! Lucky you, just keep them away from your other corals. Ricky Soutas Jr. -Soutas Saltwater & Reef Inc.- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
