Hello! As I said in my MEET & GREET thread, I was recently put in charge of some coral exhibits at work. I am no expert in Reef keeping and have only kept one reef tank before personally.

One of my exhibits at work has lots and lots of Discosoma sp. But also have these strange ricordea-looking things growing and spreading all over the place. (Will attach pictures)

My question is: Is this ricordea? Are they some type of invasive anemone ? I really am at a loss.

they kind of look like bubbletip anemones to my eye, could be mistaken
I was also thinking bta but there's SO MANY and I'm not sure where they would've come from. Thanks for the response!
 
Probobly some sort of anenome. Maybe bta like ppl are saying.
Def not any sort of majano.
Too many tenticles
Thanks for the response! I think it's definitely some sort of anemone , but I'm just not sure where it came from and why there's so many all over the tank. There is one larger anemone in there (not sure of species) and some rock flower anemone. But these look nothing like either of those, and they are all very tiny, about nickel sized.
 
Some sort of corallimorphs?

But yeah majano definitely seems more likely.. Screenshot_20240109_144235_Edge.jpg

when googling majano anemone, there's a lot of photos that look like those. I understand they can become quite invasive.
Yeah I agree, I also did a Google search and thought the same. I'm leaning towards majano at the moment. Thanks for the response !
