I found this little anemone crawling up my LR last night not sure what kind it is. It is very small about half the size of a pencil eraser. Any Ideas.

Looks like it might be aiptasia. Hard to tell from the pic if its kind of closed in or if it has short tentacles though....

It dissapeared again. Not sure if it is aptasia, Does not look like the aptasia in the other tank I had. If I find it again I'll probably remove it though.

I think we have a winner. The third webiste I went to had an almost exact match to a mojano. Now to find it again.

They're as sessile as any other anemones, namely, when they want to be, but they do tend to stay put a lot more than many other species.

They also pack a very potent sting and reproduce rapidly. Pretty creatures though.

well It showed up again. This time on the cornor of a rock with nothing on it. I ended up chipping off about an inch piece of the rock it was on. Maybe after the rock is dried and dead I'll put it in my sump. Thanks all
