Aiptasia?

[Bioree]

Helping a fellow reefer to identify this. Is this aiptasia or some type of anemone? Thanks.

It looks more like a Majano anemone to me.

Not aiptasia.

Not aptasia. Possibly a rock anemone or manjano. Hard to tell.

Thanks. It doesn’t look like any rock Anenome I googled.

Is there a way to tell if it is a majano anemone? They are considered as pest and should get rid of it right?

Tentacles resemble a Phymanthus but I'm not sure

Definitely not Aptasia, color is off to be a Majano but I could be wrong, I've never had them in my tank. Before getting rid of it I'd let it grow out some more to see... could be some type of nem.

Definetly not aptasia

If possible, can you please post a photo under normal "white" light?

The fluorescence under blue light is useful but a white light photo might be useful as well.

Maybe google Ball Anemone.

Maybe google Ball Anemone.

Definitely not, Pseudocorynactis and Corynactis both have a raised mouth in the center of the oral disk. Their polyps also feature fluorescence on the oral disk and and occasionally on parts of the tentacle but never the entire tentacle itself
