That is a Mojano Anemone. They are considered pests by most hobbyists.

I don't see any mojano in this picture - That big brown thing certainly looks like the base of an aptasia to me

Very center of the image.... Looks like mojano

I could be wrong, but the small anemone in the center of the picture looks like a Mojano. As for the other thing being Aiptasia, I think that would be the biggest Aiptasia I've ever seen. Look at it in comparison to the size of the clown.

Wow - didn't even see it

What they said ^^

thanks guys, anyone on the clowns stripe turning black?

It's totally normal for them to change color as they get older. I wish I had a before and now picture of Clyde. He looks like a totally different clownfish. I might have some that I can dig up tomorrow. I wouldn't worry.

Here you go jrozzi. I only have one of the clowns now because the female died of some unknown illness even after 6 weeks of QT. Swimming well and eating one minute, dead the next with no explanation. :sad2:

Anyway, you can see the drastic change as Clyde (the remaining clown) got older.
