    Now that is a hard one. Based on it's size I am leaning towards a very attractive Majano, considered a pest anemone, but it could be a BTA. Keep a good eye on it.

    Looks like my frogspawn did when I first bought it last year.

    Agreed- difficult to tell. I would suggest moving the Candy Cane, though; regardless what species the nem may be, it will ultimately start stinging the polyps.

    Euphy (LPS coral), majano nem (bad), BTA, or condy nem

    It grew from scratch on candy tree. I got the candy about 4 month ago and it is slowly wilting. The nem seems to be inbed so cant see skeleton??

    Now I am even more confused. If you could make the anemone or coral close, lets see what it looks like closed. What ever it is might be stinging the Candy Cane.
