Two ID's Needed

[tellmewhy1]

I have looked at approx 40 sites with no luck on these two. The first id needed is on the lil thing in first pictures. It came on a piece of live rock. The second was my second "coral?" the LFS gave me the fist sized rock with 3 of these things in 2nd set of pics. Was only $19 i couldnt refuse as my tank is 2 months old and I just couldnt wait any longer.

Thanks for your time

There must be some site out there with a unique catalog of Corals to help in ID's but I can't find one.

Not sure but they all look like shrooms to me. Except for the couple of small tube worm feather dusters and the large feather

I'd willing to bet the first set is anemonia majano. If it really is, it's not good.

Can't comment on the second, it is hard to tell.

I'd agree that the first is likely A. majo, and quite likely may become a future pest.

The best guess I can hazard on the second is a large variety of mushroom like Rhodactis sp., or something similar. Hard to tell without a better pic.


In the future, please be sure to have a good ID on the animals you purchase so you can properly care for them. It will save you time, money, and headaches in the future, not to mention possibly the animal's life.

I added some new shots of the second item as I am really interested in what it is. I will keep the anemone as it looks very nice and doesn't seem to be hurting anything. I threw up the new web site tonight so don't be too harsh i did it in a hurry :>
