Look at this lucky acan hitchhiker,torch or hammer?

Ok. Got some more pics n it grew a little n has a green mouth in the center so maybe its easier to identify. I know it sux with phone pics but I live in wv theres no reefing friends or lfs's near me at all. Reef2Reef is all I got.

I swear dont matter where I get frags from these ppl get around, always giving my tank some kinda hitchhiker.got that hammer from blue ribbon, n the acan from aqua sd.

I got euphyllia flat worms from aquasd its hard for anyone who moves coral fast to get all pest and ugly stuff off their corals.

looks like majano mate, i've got one came in on a hammer colony, looks just like a cute little baby Bubble tip, pretty too...... similar to these and even has a coloured mantle.
Edited to add my little Galaxia frag on a 25mm plug.

New pics dont help. That first pic doesn't look like a nem to me though.

2nd the majano. galaxia are much skinner tentacles and look generally nicer than that and a torch doesn't grow like that.

What do you mean a torch doesn’t grow like that?
they can absolutely spawn and settle on a rock and start growing there.
There’s threads here on R2R of it happening.
hard to tell from the first pic though as it could be a baby torch or could be a Majano

That majano is the closest looking thing I've seen so far. I think you all r right on that one. Thanks!

Read it wrong on the op thought it said it was in tank 1 week . My bad. Could be a torch. Still looks majano

easy way to tell if it’s coral or anemone.... If you touch it, does it retract into a hard Skeleton?

Idk but I ain't touchin it I might poke it with a stick

 

[40g Nano]

Why not?
The stick might hurt it

 

[FreeEnergyReefer]

I'm a professional at poking stuff with a stickhe'll be alright. I dont mean stab it,I easily brush and bump it bud

 

[FreeEnergyReefer]

Here some more recent pics. I really dont know what it is; torch,galaxia,some type of anemone? I thought it was a majano but now idk. Whatever it is is stinging that lipstick acan. I wanna separate these two soon. Kinda hard to place something u have no idea of what is is.

Still looks like galaxea to me. Just pluck or cut whatever it is at the base and mount it on plug.

 

[FreeEnergyReefer]

Thx. Yea I'm cutting the sliver of rock its attached to after the holidays. Thx

 

[Alexopora]

Well whatever it is, should I frag it off or leave it on the acan till it gets a lil bigger then cut it off and place it

Yeah, try and frag it off. I just use a cheap plier cutter to frag mine and they heal quite well. Then glue the galaxea to a fragbase or coral rubble and watch it grow. Although they have a bad rep for their aggression they are really beautiful and entertaining to watch.
