Hey all. I once again have another question for anyone who may know. On my LR are about 5 small green circular things i guess you could call them, they hace a white center that is about the size of a pin drop. The other nihgt i was looking t my tank with the light off whne i noticed that they were opening slowly and after a while they had all fully opened. It appears as it is an anemone. The base is not really evident in that there is no stem, but the body (tube) is clear and the very tip is a light green. If i didnt know better i would say it resembled bbut the sabae anemone. It only will only in the dark and they are surviving with just regular 50/50 bulbs NO by the way. I have been looking an dlookin gall over the net and bopoks and havent been able to track anything down except actinia equina and was hoping you guys could try to help. I am at work and will try to post a pic latrer when i get home if i can get my camera to cooperate. Thanks, Eddie

No theyre not mejano the body looks completely different all the way form the tubes to the to the lack of a stem as of now anyway. Also, the mejano likes the light, it appears as though mine doesnt much care for the light as it doesnt open up in it, only when the lights are off, also the tubes are completely clear except for a light green tip at the very end of the extension. Any other ideas?

Well I have finally been able to identify them. They are not spreading quickly but one or two is growing noticeably!!
They are called
PSEUDOCORYNACTUS CARIBBAEORUM
I havent been feeding them at all and dont plan on doing so in the near future. I will wait to do that when I find a neat colorful anemone in the near future.
