Its alive! Lets play name that coral!

Hi All,

I recently took possession of a 75G aquarium. I'm new to the hobby and I was wondering if you can help me ID what is growing in my aquarium.


This little one looks like an anemone?



Kenya Tree perhaps?


Not sure what this one is but its like a carpet; green inside


They are like little hands that open and close



Brain coral?


Thanks!

 

Not sure



some type of leather. Dont remember what the name was.



fuzzy mushroom



not sure



brain

 

1) Majano Anemone
2) Kenya Tree
4) White Xenia (?)

 

I concur.

1.) Manajo....this will spread like a weed (well, it most likely will. I kill them with a little home-made Joe's juice injected into their devil mouths)

2.) Kenya Tree....this will also spread like a weed (And to me, it's a good thing. Mine has started to under improved lighting)

3.) Looks like pulsating xenia that has expelled it's zooanthellae.

4.) Open Brain.

 

3 looks kinda like a pom pom xeina being so white.

 

Yikes! First Aiptasias (still trying to get rid of them) now I have deal with Majanos? Im using a syringe with lemon juice right now. Some Aiptasias die off with one shot but others are taking two or three before they turn to goo.

Isnt lemon juice bad for the tank after a while? I heard Joe's Juice is banned in California.

 

try peppermint shrimp ive had really good luck with them taking care of aiptasia, not sure on the majanos though

 

#3 looks like a nonpulsing xenia. I had some crop up in a patch of blue polyps and it is now big and brown and ugly. But it doesn't sting anything so it is still there. The second picture is at six months.

 

not sure #1, #2 kenya tree, #3 xenia, #4 mint green candy cane.
