what are these anemones?

Top one came out awhile back, is about 1" in diameter now...

Bottom one is nestled in the gravel. Just noticed it after a tank move.
It has maybe a centimeter area in diameter.

Thanks!

Mujano or aiptasia possibly?

First pic is Aiptasia sp. and the second pic looks very much like a Condylactis sp. Without better pics I can't give you specific species.
Where is your rock from?

I hate that..its so hard to tell without good pix..David, how are you sure its a Condy? This is for my future reference...I know its hard without clear enough pix, why not mujano?

Actually I just reworded my last post. The first pic I would say is Aiptasia sp. and not Anemonia majano by looking at the tentacles. Anemonia sp. tends to have thicker tentacles with bulbous tips. The second pic looking at what looks like purple tips on the tentacles and a whitish base would have be believe this looks like a Condylactis sp. But again without a better pics of both no one can say for certain.

I would say since it is coming out between the substrate and underneath the rock plus the smooth texture, that's not a tube but it's base. Though without a better pic no one can be certain.

I'm not sure that first one is aiptasia. I've never seen an aiptasia with bubbles on the tentacles like that one has.

Will try to get closer pics!
Thanks for the suggestions.

The top one doesn't look like any anenomes that I've seen...
The aiptasias I've seen before had longer tendacles, and more tentacles on the outer portion of the oral disc, not all over the top of the animal.

There several species of Anemonia sp like David said...ive seen different looking ones so its possible its aiptasia...its the second pic that has me baffled...
