Possible aiptasia and unknow anemone..

[ctxmonitor]

Does anyone know what is the anemone that is in the pic? Iknow to the right is definitely an aiptasia.. But the left one looks like a bubble tip anemone. It has a little fluorecent green coloring to it. The size is arount 1 inch. I think it was much smaller before.

Good or bad?

It came from one of the rock from the frag swap. I was hopping the four peppermint shrimp will take a grab at it but haven't seen any of them in action.

Mostly likely it's a buble tip anemone.

But its sooo small compare to the real anemone(the one I usually see)..

I saw something very similar in fishtown and was selling as bubble anemone. If it's mojano, it'll spread very fast in your tank. and if you want to kill it, use Joe's Juice. It's very effective against mojano and aptaisia.
