Hi, thanks for reading this!

I went to the local aquatic store today to look at corals. I'm a noob and don't have any corals yet. But I learned to look around and see what sort of stuff is growing in the coral tanks. I found something that looks like Aptasia to me, and I read somewhere that if you find any Aptasia at a store, you just shouldn't shop there for coral. I took the picture below with my iPhone. Sorry it's not a more clear picture. Let me know whether you think the little thing growing between the two corals is Aptasia.

Zoa or paly. Majano does not have a skirt like a zoa or paly. It has random-ish tentacles that are not in a "flat" single file arrangement like a zoa or paly. Have a look at some pics online.
