anemone ID

[metalManiac]

I decided to go for a stroll to the LFS and noticed this little anemone sitting up on the water line in one of the coral tanks.

I asked the owner if he knew what type of anemone it was to which he replied "hmmmmm, MAJANO!"

he agreed to let me 'get rid of it for him, free of charge'.

I have seen majanos before (and had them) and this one seems just too big. The foot is quite large (about an inch across). I really am stumped with it.

anyone? (sorry for the poor shots, its a camera phone through 2 dirty sets of glass).

I don't remember where I got the description - but I remember reading that Majano's only had 2 rows of tentacles and other than that a flat oral disk - it appears the above has more than 2 rows of tentacles?

It doesn't look like majano or malu to me. There are many small, non hosting anemones like that, so I'm not sure of the exact species. You may have a hard time finding a conclusive ID for that anemone.
