    These two very small patches of maroon/purple/brownish bubble-tippy looking things have popped up in my reef. They are about half the size of a dime and almost look like little anemones. I have 2 RBTA's & a GBTA in my tank. I also have hairy mushrooms but these look maroon in color. I'm thinking either, baby nems, hairy mushrooms, kenyi tree, not sure?

    Any ideas, these were the best pics I could get of them both:

    Got it thanks, just picked up some Blue Life stuff to get rid of them, never heard of the Majano's before in my SW studies.
