But it looks so pretty lol-Majano anemone
Bad Hitchhiker. This is another pest anemone that multiplies quickly and stings anything near it. Best removed by manual scraping off and super glue/epoxy/kalk past over its spot. Peppermint shrimp will reportedly consume them as well.
What's happened here hahahaI have been known to keep a pest or 3. They look so tiny and harmless when you find them and then

Out of curiosity - What makes this a pest? It’s quick reproduction rate? It’s stinging nature goes with anemone nature. So I could see that being a problem if you are keeping anemones out of your tank period.-Majano anemone

They out compete and sting everything else to take rock space. Couple that with quick reproduction and they can take over a tank in short time. Most people don’t want them cause of that.

Thank you!They out compete and sting everything else to take rock space. Couple that with quick reproduction and they can take over a tank i short time. Most people don’t want them cause of that. Same with Aiptasia.
Ok! So not so much that fish could be stung (Which is also important), but it hurts coral as well. Thank you!multiplies quickly and stings anything near it
What this means in real terms is new ones of these quickly appear among your coral and then sting them until the coral recede or die.
Thanks so much for clarifying! I worked with wildlife for 10 years and happy Natural habitats are important to me. As well as finding natural forms of enrichment. So I’m super curious as to when something is classified as a pest. I know there are good reasons, I just love absorbing as much info as I can.Correct they typically don’t bother fish or inverts but they become unsightly when they multiply. Not sure what happens if a clown try to use them for a host or if they will try to use them as a host.
Sounds like dinner!I have 3 as big as my hand. They were tiny when I moved them to my sump.
That stone crab hit really personal right there. Found a cute tiny baby one and brought home to my childhood aquarium I was in charge of and he TOOK OVER and murdered everything then a rock fell on his dingus self and he died I stopped having tanks for a while after that lol.I have been known to keep a pest or 3.
