PIC 2 is a coral that I saw on a damaged frag that I nursed back to life but have no idea what it is lol... it looks good now

any help is appreciated

ps whats a good book or site for coral identification?

THANKS IN ADVANCE

update 3/15.... yesterday I went through and killed my majano anemone's (almost all of them) now that I know they are bad.... two of the live rocks that I had han nothing but Majano's on them so I gave them a quick dunk in boiling water.... sorry baby snail that I missed... and then I went with the boiling water route for elimination of the others (there are a few I couldnt reach but will get later but I eliminated around 75 total with less than ten that couldnt be reached thanks all for the help on this..... but I still dont know what #2 is for sure lol.... ohh well it is pretty n i like it I guess thats all that maters.

pick one looks almost like it's covered in Duncans or some kind of Bubble anemone...

Morgan111

i can tell they are some type of anemoe they only get the size of a quarter and replicate n spread nicely... not alarmingly fast like aptasia

When I had marine I used to have a shallow water bubble anenome and it looked just like yours I'm far from an expert at marine though.

Morgan111

they stay so tiny is the weird thing....

platy ben

Oh, they stay tiny, I didn't read that bit. Well mine maxed out at about 4" diameter for the time I had it.

+1 looks like majano anemone, it's a pest. They will take over your tank if left unchecked. Google em for more info. Good luck!

Morgan111

nope im certain that is not it

majano are bad? they dont seem too bad.... n dont take over too fast

harpua2002

Dunno then, sure looks like some of the pics I've seen, other than the color.

The majanos can take over eventually and sting your corals. You can nuke them with Joe's Juice, boiling water, kalk paste, etc. if they are a problem.

Morgan111

I kinda like em but I like my corals more...... GRRRRR they r spreading but not at a alarming rate.... heck I've been feeding them lol

Pic #2 looks like a stylopora

Morgan111

looks close maybe is....

ATP

I don't believe that's a stylo. Stylos are more branching type. Yours looks like a clump.
Try touching it. It is soft or hard?
If soft, it might just be a leather type thing and if its hard, my guess is a blue ridge coral

Morgan111

More soft n doest seem like as leather

Morgan111

SO iVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND PICTURE... whoops caps lock..... and picture #2 seems to be some sort of Jewel or Brush coral that are in the stony coral type... bout the closest I can find at this point but with as healthy as it seems to be... prob not a bad frag for 10.00.... and I'm down to prob 7 to 10 majanos left in the tank and I will try to kill them this weekend they are just harder to get to.
