babies anemones

[james72]

Got this LR of 18 babies anemones, what does they feed on? I tried cutting small bits of prawns for them, but they like take ages to consume them, maybe too big for their mouth. Any food recommendation?

I may be wrong but those are manjano anemone rite? If it is, then its considered a pest.. very prolific speaders with a super potent sting that damages any coral in its path

If its not the dreaded manjano, then just forget the above.. hehehe

yeah..should be manjano...nice colours but considered a pest

Took a close up shot of it, just wan to comfirm isit manjona or just the normal anemones. The tips looks more round as compared to the manjona leh.

Right, I think I'll put them in the sump for quarantine first.

it is just like an anemone...if it is not happy..it moves around..hehe

u try turning the rock away from the light..and u will it it facing the light again the next few days..hehe

the reason why it is a pest is because it reproduces and replicates much easier than normal nice anemones....

if you have a manageable tank....easy to take it out...but if you have a giant tank like morgan's ....it is no joke handling these anemones....

Cant take it out.... That the prob... it will shrink until so small... I cant even grab a hold of it... den i give up....

[arcanehacker]

I think I have 2 similar kinds.. But no green tip leh.. is it the same one? They can stretch very long towards the light. Very small. One dun seem to move at all. The other moves but rarely..

[scarab]

Aaaargh Before long they'll be all over your tank, hiding in your rocks, stinging you corals and your fish, basically become a real pest.

I bought one rock with almost 20 of them a few months ago. Like the colour but didn't exactly know what it was. After placing it tank, they start to dislodge and move all over the tank You can't remove them as they will shrink into your rocks crevice. Beware.

Manjano alright...bad for tanks...detrimental to fish...remove asap...

[Dispar_Anthias]

Nuke them, kill them or put them in gurus's tank

[arcanehacker]

I dun see whats his problem now since if they are on one rock, just FW dip the whole rock lah.. see them bloat up and explode one by one...

[FuEl]

Use the kalkwasser treatment.

[Warsteiner]

i bought a LR with similsr few weeks ago, but PINK color.. is it the same species?

[nutx]

I saw some LFS sell them as Anemone on the Rock.

Are they the same kind?

even the more established one in PR Farm 1 is selling.

Nuke them, kill them or put them in gurus's tank

Agree Agree Agree

They stick all over my glass once.

But finally I got them all out and away!
