Anemone hitchhiker- Help ID?

[trellemania]

Soo I have no idea what these guys are but they were just one dude 2-3 months ago when it came with one of my Xenias it is now 5 or so… they seem like anemones and have fluorescence. I don’t think they are bta they are all about 1 inch or less. I also see them eat pellets every now and then. They enclose themselves like an anemone when they eat.. anyone seen these? They are not aiptasia but idk if I should worry lol I have peppermint shrimp in the tank and they never seem interested in these lil nems. Any ID welcome!

Get them out of the tank ASAP. These guys are Majano pest anemone. Unlike Aiptaisia, nothing will touch them. There is not natural predator that is remotely reef safe that I know about

Definitely get that out of your tank asap. They will spread like wildfire and nothing can kill it. If you try to remove it and save the rock, you’ll be surprised one day with a colony of them and by then it’s too late. Some people have tried to use super glue on them however that is a risk I’d be unwilling to take. Best bet is to remove all rock that they have touched and eradicate it. If you leave this unchecked it’ll spread like a zombie apocalypse.

Ahsh*T I had a feeling it was something of the sort...

If you can get the rock into a qt tank, you can definitely save the rock and the coral on it….

Oh so these Majano Nems are not your guy's favorite? Could have sworn it was a favorite around here.

They never seem to get out of hand in my tanks. They are there, but only a handful of them, they come, they go... They are the nice green ones like yours. So I don't mind them.
Now green Pocillopora sps... now that is a pest...
