    Ok so here are two different things growing on my LR. The upper left is kinda stringy and the lower right alomst looks like anemone tentacles but its now. It is attached to the rock, Thats the closest thing I could describe it to! Thanks!!

    I know I am sorry, Im taking pics from my phone and can only get so close. Do the Majano anems get big? Are they a concern?

    It looks like a sponge to me,but if it is a majano,you can use a syringe full of boiling tank water to cook him right where he's at.

    A majano is somewhat shaped like a polyp,sorta like a zoanthid,heres a pick of a typical majano,however there are many types of pest nems.
