I just noticed thing between my zoanthids, or perhaps a lost ricordea?
Some details: Pink tips, green bubbles, yellow mouth. Does not retract when touched.

I was going to jump on this and say that it is a majano anemone, but they retract when touched, and the zoanthids would shy away from it. Now I can only guess and say it's some kind of coralimorph, like a warty mushroom. On the other hand it looks like a polyp of Euphyllia, say an anchor or frogspawn. In other words, I have no clue!

odd and kind of pretty. Looks a little frogspawn-ish.
If it were frogspawn, would be irritating the zoas more.
Maybe this should be in an identificaton forum, don't think it an anemone.

IMO, it's a manjano.

If it is majano it is not like any I've ever seen before. It's oddly beautiful though what ever it is.

That thing is really cool, maybe it is a different species of majano being it does no tbother the zoos. When I had one in my zoos they would not open at all.
