Hi.
i recently purchased a rock with som mushrooms, but there was another thing on there. and i can't seem to find out what it is. I have narrow it down to these two things :
a Anemonia cf. majano
or some sort of ricordea.
what do guys... and girls think?

Majano IMO. They're kinda pretty... if they weren't pests.

Look like majanos but then almost like a ricordia yuma. Take a better pic, the mouth is what I'd like to see. If it has a raised mouth with lots of little pimples, then its a yuma.

It might also be a fuzzy mushroom. I got a couple like it on my last live rock purchase.

Try feeding it to see if it closes like an anemone. I don't know if mushrooms close when fed.

Some do.



I would leave it, i think it is a mushroom.

Ive seen several of these come in as hitchhikers on mushroom and zoanthid rocks lately. They are anemones, though I do not know what kind.

These do not seem to be as aggressive as aptasia- Ive had them right in the middle of zoanthid colonies, and none of the zoas were reacting like they were being stung. They do remind me a little bit of A. majano, but I do not believe they are the same thing.

I would pull it out of there at any rate- before you wind up with tons of them all over the tank.

One way to tell would be if it moves quickly... mojanos can almost visibly walk around, a couple of inches an hour. Of course, you might not be able to find it.

Dan, please take more closeup pics like the one you took of it closed up. Take more of it opened. It really does look like a ricordia yuma. When they close up, they look just like that pic.

More pics!!!

LoL! Its some type of shroom, leave it be. Its a nice hitchiker. Majano retract completely if i remember correctly. Touch it and tell us what it does. Nems will close up quickly.

It is a mushroom of some sort. Let it grow and find out what type. If it turns out you dont want it, the rock its on can be taken out and you can chip it off. . . and then call me, cuz I'll take it. Looks an awful lot like the baby r. yuma's I have growing in my tank.
