Hi all,
I apologize in advance for the pictures, best I could get as the growth in question is rather small, but spreading. It’s fluorescent orange in color and on the surface of a rock at mid level in the tank.
Any guess is much appreciated, easy enough to remove the rock if turns out to be a pest.

hi. I've never seen this before and am not the best source because i don't know as much as most due to i am relatively new to this community. otherwise to me it looks like some kind of anemone. i know a lot of anemones are bad and can irritate or even kill coral so maybe do some research about that but otherwise i don't know. i know many shrimp eat bad anemones so if approved by other people (again I'm no expert) maybe try getting a peppermint shrimp or something like that.

Hi all,

Here are some updates pics, slow growing but does appear to be different than what was previous thought. I ordered some lenses, hoping for better pics next week.
Any new guesses or do we still thing Corynactis?
