Anemone or Something Else?

[Hair Algae Wizard]

Folks,

I'm guessing this is an anemone of some sort, but looking for positive ID. Hitchhiker on some live rock. Reef safe?

Thanks!

Hard to tell from the pic. My first thought would not have been majano though.

Majano has bulbous ends. This is a different type. Would have to see the foot to get a better idea of which one.

Thanks guys, it's in a weird spot, so it's hard to get a pic. I'll keep trying.

Doesn't really look like a majano to me, at lesst not when I initially looked at it. Following to see how this turns out.

A pic under whiter lighting would be helpful.

Aiptasia? My Manjo's have the same stripped tentacles "brown manjos". the green manjo's are more bubbly

How big is this thing? Blow it off when you get home and take a good white pic.

Updated pics. Sorry for the quality, best I can seem to manage.

Yeah, doesn't look like majano. @KJ #reefsquad

How big is it? Looks like a zoa or paly with the short, wavy tentacles.

Almost looks like a mini maxi carpet. A picture under whites (maybe two with one showing size comparison) would help.

That is what I was thinking of suggesting. It looks alot similar to mine. But wasn't sure.

Agree on Mini Max carpet
The Mini Carpet anemone can sting like other anemones and Rhodactis mushrooms, but it is not an aggressive anemone. Its small size and easy care makes it perfect for beginners and nano-tank owners. Mini Carpets are not known to act as a host to clownfish.
Mini Carpet Anemones require a tank with strong lighting and good water movement. The aquarium should have a variety of sandy and rocky locations as this anemone can move around seeking a place in tank that it prefers. Once settled into a preferred location, these anemones normally stay put.
When healthy, this anemone is very sticky to the touch, and when they grasp something or even someone, it is difficult to convince it to let go without causing damage to the carpet. It is also one of the few anemones that can cause a severe reaction in humans, so exercise caution in handling.
