Hindi ba majano or aiptasia?

based from what I'm seeing its a zoa na bukas na bukas. yellowish green mouth, brown line after mouth, white/purpleish near the skirt and yellowish green skirt. naka labas lang siya among the rest at mas bukas. 100% not aiptasia but not sure about majano. A clearer picture would help identify it better.

yung pagkakabukas ba malikot yung skirt na parang tentacles? just recently may sinaksakan ako ng vinegar na ganun ang movement eh, although nasa tabi ng actinos yun kaya alam ko agad na pest.

hahaha ako sanay tumingin na ng aips. tank ko punong puno ng aips eh.... aips has long tentacles, mostly pure brown na medyo see through, may iba color nila green yung buong middle part pag maganda ilaw.

Characteristics:
1. Long tentacles
2. Usually Brown
3. Long thin body
4. Looks like Anemone not zoa.

Ganito yung green aips


Normal at madalas na kulay ng aips.

May kilala ako kasama yata sa alaga mga aips nya. hahaha!

Sa akin white ang aips. Recently may majano nung bumili ako ng actino pero madali ko namang natanggal. yung aips ko kapag maliit, minsan tinitira ng foxface lo eh.

hi, if you may notice, may bumaba na din na same thing sa lower part. would aiptasia multiply or migrate that fast?
hoping na its not aips. would try to take a clearer pics for re assessment. thanks
