Hi all, I just noticed this poyp on one of my rocks. It looks like a short tentacle of a torch but there is no skeletal base. What is this thing? Is this harmful or just let them be in my system?

Looks like majano anemone. Is it like photo below? Are they popping up just there or elsewhere too? If so, these are pests and will spread. Lemon juice or kalkwasser paste will kill them.

thank you. yeah looks like majano anemone. Is there a natural predetor that eats only majano anemone?

I’ve heard the green filefish but don’t have first hand experience to back that up. Almost every reefer I know uses some sort of paste or lemon juice combo to kill them off. My peppermint shrimp was great with regular aiptasia but not sure if they’ll also go after majanos.
