Need help with ID two anemone

Poocasso85 · 07/05/2021, 04:59 PM

Just got some live rock from the gulf and was wondering if what they are. Any help is much appreciated!!

Give your live rock time to settle in, the pics of the anemones aren't good enough for a proper ID.

They look like one of the Aiptasia species to me.

As previously said. Give it some time to settle. Although pic 2 looks like Majano and 3 Aiptasia.

The first picture looks more like a tunicate to me. #2 appears to be a bleached mojano although it could be a very small condylactis. #3 is probably an aiptasia but could also be a small curlyque.

As the others have said - watch them and see how they develop as they adjust to their new home.

3 certainly looks like Aiptasia from here.
