Question: Do they still have it when you were there? Or did you pick up the last piece?

Thank you.

Am quite sure pic 2 are majano anemones.. they will move around your tank for that perfect spot and can propagate easily

Quite easy to tell apart. Duncans are LPS so they have branching skeletons. Majanos are anemones, no skeletons.

First photo (top) looks like duncan/whiskers coral. Second one (bottom) looks like Majanos. Most hobbyists consider majanos as pests. But if they look good, no harm having them in your tank as any other anemone. The main problem is if they like your tank, they multiply pretty fast. Majanos have powerful stings that irritates/kills other corals.

The Majano photo on this page looks exactly like yours. scroll to the bottom to see the photo. http://hubpages.com/hub/Sea-Anemones

yup they are indeed majano after some research

if anyone happens to go to the LFS in front of ah beng

please let the owner know

all the while they are selling it as duncan coral lol

and i know a number of reefer got from them already

cheers

Another reason to avoid impulse buys - LFS does not know everything, although some claim to...

actually i waited for weeks liao

auntie keep saying those on the main rock

then ytd finally got a few piece attached to loose rock

they have like 30-40 heads, i wonder if anyone notice them

they really look like duncan lol

[straydum]

i noticed them the very first time when the shop had only 2 polyps many months back. luckily the auntie didn't want to sell to me that time

[dnsfpl]

no wonder she told me 1 week can grow 1-2 head

i told her my duncan coming a month still no sign of extra head
