what kind of anemones is this?

[XxKnuckleheadxX]

i just bought 100lbs live rock and had lots of hitch hikers.. including 2 anemones. someone told me there are some bad anemones.. curious what ones are bad? and can anyone identify what mine is.

They are majano anemones.They spread fast and sting,irritate corals.

There are several methods to kill them.Remove the rock and pour boiling water.Joe's Juice is a product you feed to them.You can also remove the rock and smear kalk paste on them.Do it now before they get out of hand.

Hard to tell.But it looks like a majano.

Maybe those arent majanos.At least not the 2 in your hand.

Those don't look like majanos to me. They almost look like some sort of frilly mushroom or ricordea. Can you google "frilly mushroom" and "ricordea" and see if those match?

still cant find anything on these lil guys.

The ones in your hand doesn't look like majano.It does look like some kind of anemone though.

Looks like these "ROCK ANEMONES".
Similar banding, corkscrew pattern in the tentacles.

From what I read, they are close relatives to the aiptasia family.
