xelanem Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 New to nano reef. I've got a 75 reef and a 10 gallon. A friend of mine recently gave me two anemones and I don't recall where he got them but anyway he said they were majanos. I have seen majanos at LFS before so I didnt think that was the case. I have since spent hours looking through various forums and google image search's trying to find out what they are. from what I can tell most people say they are majanos but there is always a few people on every thread that say no, and I happen to agree with them. there is a thread from the reef tank with a prime example and a wonderful picture to illustrate the situation. Here is the link to the thread, You can actually see in the picture the anemone in question and then a real majano anemone below it in the picture. http://www.thereeftank.com/forums/f6/want-...s-136598-2.html Link to comment
fretfreak13 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Does your clown actually host in it, or was that just a coincidence when you took the photo? I can't help you with the ID, I'm just curious. Link to comment
xelanem Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 I almost forgot. I have also tried to find what the max size for a majano is and havent really seen anyone comment on the largest majano they have or have seen. What is the biggest majano anyone has had in there tank or seen in someones tank. The ones I've seen at different LFS are generally no bigger than a nickel or maybe a quarter at the most. I also know they have had plenty of time to grow and reproduce there so it doesnt seem like they are getting any larger. The ones from that post and the ones I have in my tank are large. The biggest is almost 3" across oral disc when spread open. very similar to the above picture in comparison. That picture is not mine its from the post I linked to. It certainly looks like the clown is liking it though! Link to comment
nibor Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 The picture looks like a condylactis anemone, it is definitely not a majano. Post some pictures of your anemones. Link to comment
jason777 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I see majanos in the picture, but the biggest one I'm not sure. It looks like it could be a huge one. Link to comment
chrssprngs Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Definitely not a Condylactis. Link to comment
xelanem Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 I'll post some pics tonight. Mine are identical to the large one in the picture. Link to comment
xelanem Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 Here is one next to a 12 head hammer. As you can see the disc is about as large as one of the hammer heads. there are also some protopalys in the background for reference Link to comment
xelanem Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 Someone has got to know the answer to this! Link to comment
