Hello & Coral/Anemony Question

[EricHL]

Hello Reefers


My name is Eric.
At the moment I am cycling my first Reef Tank (13g nano tank).

I got a little Hitchhiker on the life-rock. It is around 5mm (0,2 inch) in diameter. My question to you is: What is it? I have a guess, but I do not want to bias the answers. A photo is attached to this post.

I discovered it while it was moving around the tank (I think it was trying to escape the ammonia peak). Its mouth was wide open. I have put it into a quarantine-bucket with a dead rock and some lighting. Now that the ammonia is gone (2ppm Nitrite is still left) I have put it into the tank again. It seems to do better now.


Thank you for your support and best regards

Eric

Welcome aboard. Here is a link to some common hitchikers that Crabs McJones put together. Looks like Majano. I'd get rid of it ASAP!
