LYNDYLOO Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 Hi Jimmy, If you are talking about the purplely things, then yea, I would say they are anemones.

wasp Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Had a look at the pic my eyesight's not the best but I'm pretty sure they are not mojano, not sure what though. If you know who the guy is who bought them Bruce, how about discuss with him & post back here what they are, I'd be interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Yeah, I doubt they're majanos too. I'd like one, if they're not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Yes I will ring him, I am pretty sure they would be majano, what else grows that quickly? One sure test, One bottle of Joes Juice :lol: /Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Although, looking at this picture they look pretty similar. All the pics I'd seen other than these made majanos look pretty small and very short... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 That's a better pic, looks exactly like mojano, other than the long stalk. Maybe they go like that sometimes. So who's the shmuck who paid $70.00 for mojano? :lol: Actually, better not answer that! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 And we are pretty sure we have an identity of what it is... Gee what lovely people you are.. no wonder I opted to go to an overseas site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puttputt Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 with a reply like that we are glad you went to an overseas site as well. There are 2 many instances of unsuspecting people getting ripped off hence some of the replies. People have been sold aiptasia or rockpool shrimp as tropical rarities off trade me, if you are in a position to clarify then do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 There is no need to get personal especially when that person is not an expert of marine keeping or has never professed to be. You are the people that obviously seem to know alot about this subject.. Being insulted is not quite what anyone expects and that is why you got a sharp response.

puttputt Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 It's really a pretty good site, with alot of good people with a passion for marine aquaria (saltwater section) who honestly try to help people. Some are a bit sharp at times but get to know them, you might be surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feelers Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 The person had bought it by the time anyone could have warned them, and even then it would have been up to the seller to decide whether he was going to loose out on $70 by telling the bidder. I'm geussing that you know or are the person who bought these anemones - and it is an unfortunate loss of money. I had never heard of a majano anemone - so it's a mistake I could have made, although it is a good lesson in doing research first. The people here are all very friendly - despite all the bannings . And knowing the way wasp usually answers I doubt he had intended any menace in his post. For instance someone from these forums came round and helped drill my tank last night - at the expense of his own time and effort. (Cheers Tim ) And most of the people here are only too happy to help. Perhaps you could pass on the forum details to the purchaser and hopefully prevent some other future mistakes. (there's plenty to make - everyone here must have done something wrong at some stage) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachy Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 I still think they look nice :lol: , although it is a good lesson in doing research first second that. Posting here is good, even if you get mixed answers, you can take the replies, and make a decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Oh well if it was me that caused offence Afrikan I apologise. The remark was a little tongue in cheek, I thought most people would know it was a joke, because in my early days, I bought a mojano anemone from a guy selling everything up. Although I'm a smaller shmuck, because I only paid $20.00 for it :lol: We live and learn! Were you the purchaser? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 And we are pretty sure we have an identity of what it is... Wasp, take a look at the subject line of this post.. It's pretty small, you may need your glasses to see it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquatopia Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Yeah I was picking majano to. Bad news Hey Suphew - im probably wrong but i thought majano were always short stemmed (and they dont look like aiptasia as they tentacles look too thick - but then the "breeding profusely" bit is a concern - most anemones we want are far less helpful, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
