[esteem]

Let it grow!


It seems like the rock will be easy to get to if it turns out it is really a pest.

Keep in mind that if it is Majano anemone...though the rock may be easy to get to...they're notorious for moving. They can move all the way across your tank rather quickly and plant themselves in a more difficult spot to get to and then become a real pest.

maybe it was a majono and the pepps did you a favor?

There would be a small hard coral skeleton in the place the polyp was if it was indeed a frogspawn coral. It looks like it was doing well.

Any other changes besides adding the shrimp? Are you positive you have the "true" peppermint shrimp, Lysmata wurdemanni, and not the humpback shrimp, Rhynchocinetes uritai (pictured below)?
