Majano? Or some other anemone?

I have about 15 of these little green anemone looking hitchhikers that popped up. Any thoughts?

They're not majanos, not aiptasia. They're something else that I've never seen a name for, but for all intents and purposes, they are mini majanos and should be treated as such.

Thanks! Should I inject with kalk?

Yes, the kalk paste is effective against nearly everything. Aiptasia, majano, palythoa, GSP, anything except plants can be controlled with that mix.

lemon juice works too, apparently. the kalk is more effective though.

This is an aptasia species known as aiptasia mutabilis also called aptasia Couchii and not the same as typical aptasia but you can kill the same way:
Using syringe, inject either lemon juice or better yet. . kalkwasser powder mixed with tank water into a paste the consistency of toothpaste and inject into the very center core and it will melt away

Kind of cool looking though. Are they multiplying fast?

Yea, it started slow so I kind of ignored it. There were 2 for quite a while and then they exploded
