Yeah, those look like majanos.Mine look like mini RBTAs honestly.You even if they did sting, they are so small that the tentacles wouldnt reach anything.

I have two differend species of these in my tanks, I have the ones pictured at the top (Exactly the same as far as I can see) and I love them. I also have a dark maroon species that has come back after i erradicated them once. They both grow very slowly as far as I can see and they both add interest to the tanks. Joe's or kalk will get rid of them if they start to get out of hand, but in my opinion, they are no more aggressive than Xenia.

Definitely Majano anemones, I have a scattering in my tank and hit them with kalk+NaOH whenever I can.

BTW- The Atlantis Aquarium in NY has a small tank above and behind their main reef, totally full of those buggers (the red ones). Kinda pretty, but they can indeed take over.

I had some of those sold to me as tulips as well. They were pretty for a while, then the population exploded and they wiped out several zoo colonies in my 2.5 gallon tank. I ended up trashing the main rock they were on and zapping the remainders with Joe's juice. It took a few injections to kill most of them, but I still have two or three that have settled in hard to reach places. :evil:

Ouch...Sorry to hear about that.I didnt know these guys can sting so bad. I have quite a few sps in my tank and would hate to lose them so I guess I need to nuke them then.
