We always find something new. Does anyone know what this is under the trachephyllia?

TIA

Looks like a manajo or glass anemone, they can sting and irritate the coral. I get rid of them like apistasia, kalk paste, joes juice.

It's a corallimorph called a ball anemone. It's actually a mushroom coral and should not bother anything. Personally I think they're one of the coolest "hitchhikers" I've found in my tank :)

The photo does not resemble a majano, and "glass anemone" is another name for aiptasia.
