Hey all!

Was hoping to get some help identifying these baby nems! Just recently bought this tank with all of the live stock in it. As you can see from photo #1 it has some really nice RBTAs! Today I noticed a few smaller green nems in the tank(photo #2) and wanted to get some input on what they might be. From what I was told, the only nems that ever lived in this tank were the RBTAs, but these little guys are definitely green. Any ideas?!

Thanks a bunch!

Look like majano anemones. They are considered a pest due to their fast spread and stinging of other corals. You can make a kalk paste to remove them quickly.

They look like BTA to me. In my experience nems change colors based on lighting and condition. My rose bta are more and more like rainbows, and greener every day. My rainbows that sit higher, closer to the light are now a deep orange with hints of green
