What's that? Cant tell if its Majano or Ball Anemone

[CharlyItaly]

Hello there folks!
I was wondering if someone can tell me what this is? It has its own mouth and a seemingly transparent, quite long, body. (BTW, if it helps, it retires behind the rock on the right at night)
Since i cannot tell searching through the internet i hope someone can take his/her precious time and help me out!
I will move in a new home in a few weeks and have to know wether to get rid of this or not thank you for your comments

I could be wrong but looks like a baby mushroom coral. Got any of those in your tank?

 

[CharlyItaly]

Hi, thanks for your comments! No, don't have any of them... The body/stem is 2 inches long aswell...

Nope, that's why i can't get what it is...

Then it's a ball anemone.

Thank you! Should i remove in your opinion?

Stay or nay?

Can stay. They are mostly harmless and stay pretty small.

They're not actually anemones; instead they're related closer to mushroom corals. They will spread like mushrooms corals do (which is relatively quick). I would remove them but it's up to you.

I should keep an eye on it then... I would say, if it gets a friend then it's gone...

Its not a ball anemone. I'm about 98% sure it a Majano.

Majano = get out!
Ball = keep, and are really neat.

How am i able to understand/spot the difference?

Majanos look like mini bubble tip anemones and ball have very distinctive balls at the tips.

Ok then i guess i should eliminate it. Since i'm going to move the tank (moving myself in another apartment) i will kill it when the rock is out of the tank. Thanks

Looks like a majano to me.

Majanos can be very invasive and difficult to get rid of if they take hold. But looking at the picture you posted it definitely doesn't look like a ball, so better to err on the safe side.

Yeah, just for me to know, as long as i don't touch it wont duplicate right?
