    I have no idea what this is. I thought majano but when I touch it balls up into itself like a bubble. The color is brown but the foot/boot is green and this one is at least 2 inches wide when fully open. They came on this LR that i just purchased. Dont wanna kill it till I know what it is. Also it can travel just like an anemone. ;D

    Mine look more like the majanos as their tenticles are long and hairy like the aptasia. These that I got actually get like a bubble tip on the tenticles. They come off very easy with just my thumb nail and are sticky like a regular anemone. I have searched high and low and all the pics I see of majanos they are pretty colorfull as mine are just a drab fugly brown color...............LOL.
