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

Thank you.

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
