Tiny green anemones seem so
innocent. I bought 3 or 4 just for their color, not knowing these were
Anemonia Majanos, which quickly split and made more of
themselves and spread. Soon I had 40 of these guys in my tank. They are
attracted to light, and will climb the rockwork to get to the top. Their
sting is damaging to corals, and eat up 'real estate' other corals could
use. This is definitely a pest anemone, and using a syringe with boiling
water, I removed every one of them.
