    I purchased a mushroom rock yesterday and when I bought it all I saw was two mushrooms. Today I notice something that looks an awful lot like a majano anemone. Can someone take a look at these pics and tell me if it is.

    Thanks

    Does it look like a small anemone? It might be a tulip anemone, I have 5 of them and they are red and green color and dont grow much. I didnt see the pics.

    I also cannot view the picture. It seems I have to be a member, can you upload it to 3reef?

    Take it out of the water. Superglue over the nem. Wait about 10sec, then place back in the tank :)

    If it is small enough you might want to get some 2-part epoxy. Take the rock out, dry off the area where ur pest is, and place a good amount of epoxy over it. I did this with some pest anemones a year or two back and it worked well. Just make sure to keep the epoxy away from any coral as it will kill tissue.

    So you guys would recommend either puttting epoxy or superglue over the pest. Any special kind?

    any kind of superglue gel, not regular super glue, it has to be the gel, will work fine
