This anemone hitchhiked on my Indo-pacific live rock. Should I leave it alone? I know that it's very hard to see because of its size. It's green in color, with bulb tipping. It hasn't gotten no bigger the year time.

Can't see anything from the picture but maybe check out majano anemone, see if that looks like it.

I can't see the nem very well, but from your description, I believe that it is a majano. Get rid of it. It will be highly invasive and will sting your other creatures. Here's an adult. Is yours similar?

It's too small to ID, but with the way you describe it, I would remove it/kill it.
