Found these growing at the back of my tank, out of sight. Looks like some kind of zoa or palythoa but can't be sure. Biggest polyp is around 1cm diameter. Doesn't look like aiptasia to me...

seems like aiptasia to me... :pirate:

Can't really tell from the picture, but since I assume you know what aiptasia looks like, my guess is majano anemone.

The aiptasia in my tank looks like this...

So there are other types of aiptasia? :blink:

Hi bro,

Depending on flow and light availability aiptasia appearance will be slightly different. For example, in low light condition, aiptasia will expel all zooxanthellae and adopt a almost transparent look. Anyway, whether there are more species of aiptasia remains a mystery.

HTH ;)

Thanks... Looks almost like a zoa <_<

Quite true.. there are however some tell tale signs of a manjano:

1) It is usually green (Aiptasia - brown)

2) It's tentacles will have a bubble tip (Zoa & aiptasia - tapered)

3) Tentacles are found all over (Zoa & aiptasia - on the edge)
