Thank you all so much for the Information about ball anemone. After hearing they eat snails I will probably get ride of them and considering that I counted about 8 or so of them already.

But those aren’t close to being invasive and ball anemones aren’t considered to be a prized anemone/mush. Just reporting what I’m dealing with and it’s not fun. Not the worst thing either.

They have never been invasive for me. I am not sure why they are for you. Maybe different kinds spread at different rates.

I wish I could find more of them... they would make for an interesting Pico display. Especially if a person could get different morphs/colors.

Mine are white balls under white and glow blue balls :eek:under da blues. I know I over feed a bit but hoping it’s not a long term deal.

Ball anemones are actually mushroom coral given their name due to balls giving it the appearance of an anemone and desired by many due to their pretty colors
