    So, I have had my SW for about 2 weeks. I am cycling with a clown fish, and this thing has started growing by the base rock that I have in the tank... if you can see it, please help me ID it.

    Unfortunately, that is as close to it as I can get... the more I zoom in the more distorted it gets...
    If you double click the picture, it does get bigger

    I don't think it's aiptasia - like said above, the tentacles looks too big and chubby. But it's hard for me to tell from the picture. I have bad eyes! ;)

    Well, it is always visible. It seems to be coming from the sand and not from the rock. When I turned on the moonlights tonight it seemed to close up...

    Is Majano good or bad?
