    Not sure what this is. Hitchhiker from a soft coral purchase. Looks big in the pic, but it's actually about half the size of a penny. Very small. From the indo-pacific region.

    It looks like some type of anemone, not sure the variety though. It doesn't look like any aipstasia or majano that I have seen, but the small size tends to make me think that it is some variety of pest anemone.

    I'd wait for someone else to chime in before you do anything, but those are just my thoughts

    Thanks, after reading some more, pretty sure it's a majano.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    I agree most likely suspect, really too bad because some are beautiful and that one certainly is.

    I think it’s a majano, It has the shape and the greenish colour but it’s different to measure it’s size just by looking at the image. Wonder what the size is?

    Concluded it's a majano. It's only half the size of a penny.
